    Historical Perspectives
    The history of mental health practice with gay, lesbian and bisexual people is both complex and constantly evolving. This introductory program to the series focuses on some of the most important historical developments from ancient times to the present, including:

    • Early attempts topathologize and change homosexuality.
    • The influences that led to the depathologizing of homosexuality.
    • The contemporary bias in psychotherapy, illustrated by a poignant account of therapy abuse by Robert Gentry, the nation’s first openly gay mayor.
    • “Conversion therapies” to repathologize homosexuality and modern attempts to change sexual orientation.
    • Recent affirmative mental health approaches.
    • The current APA guidelines for working with GLB clients.
    • Real testimony of affirmative psychotherapy from a client after years of negative therapy experiences.

    Archival film clips and interviews with the experts are used throughout to illustrate this history of treatment approaches and mental health attitudes towards the GLB community.

    Save on the complete 7-DVD Series.

    "This video provides a thorough history of the treatment of gay men and lesbians by the mental health profession. It gives a historical context for the once prevalent belief that to be gay or lesbian was to be mentally ill, and chronicles the efforts to de-pathologize homosexuality."
     - Sukie Magraw, PhD
    Chair, PsyD Program, JFK University

    "Psychotherapy with Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Clients is the best collection of DVDs about the social and psychological dimensions of this community. The series is well researched and covers many significant issues that GLB people meet in the course of their lives. I would recommend them to a wide audience including psychotherapists. family members, and GLB people themselves."
    - Charles Silverstein, PhD, Founding Editor, The Journal of Homosexuality
