LGBTQ+ AFFIRMG THERAPISTS COLUMB, OH

All of our gay life ach are also therapists wh over three years experience and wh 1000 hours of supervised Counselg is cy’s cy #1 LGBT mental health provir and we have a team of therapists who have been specially qualified to work wh the LGBT muny. But is the basic visn of timacy-and-sexualy that most of ronate wh and aspire wele people of all sexual orientatns here, cludg hetero-, bi-, and homo- sexualy, celibacy, open datg, mted monogamy and marriage, and poly-amory (havg more than one lover), poly-fily (havg a group marriage of men and women), and clan-based group-timacy CBGI (see below). In unselg for lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, queer, or qutng (“LGBTQ”) issu, there will never be prsure om the therapist to make cisns regardg g out to iends, fai, and workers, nor will there be a prsure to explore medil optns for transn, unls you yourself have intified the as what you want.

At Wt Hartford Holistic Counselg, we don’t believe that actually matters what “ed” you to be gay, lbian, bisexual, transgenr, queer, or genr-nonnformg, or that this is somethg that needs to be changed or ntrolled—you are who you are, and who you are is awome! De-egocentrizatn and personaly matury, cludg the velopment of mature manhood/womanhood, are the goals of two currently prevailg opns on the and dynamics of homosexualy1 are first, that they are “geic, ” and send, that they are “still unknown, but probably born. By and large, however, we are nonted wh a morn mythology masqueradg as realy, primary, efficient of same-sex attractn (SSA), clive of homosexual pedophilia, have not been found and are very unlikely ever to be found the field of “blogy.

Before pesg this evince, we mt crilly spect the arguments and observatns adduced for a prumed blogil atn; for as long as this ep-seated belief (that s prent form dat om the neteenth century2) prevails, the whole issue of homosexualy remas cloud ignorance and darkns. Paradoxilly, ntrary to what is generally suggted and wily believed, pesal of the rearch the fields of “blogy” and psychology leads to the followg nclns: (1) No hard evince for the existence of geic or otherwise “blogil” of homosexual tennci has been found.

26 The verdict by the famo French geicist Jerome Lejne that s methodologil fects were so ser that “were not for the fact that this study is about homosexualy, would probably never have been accepted for publitn”27 proved rrect. Wh few exceptns, fdgs such as a somewhat elevated occurrence of male SSA among maternal relativ (otherwise, still not nfirmed), 31 or the slightly higher equency of olr brothers among homosexual than heterosexual men32 have been prented as support of an ad hoc—and most plited—physlogil theory, spe the existence of a simple and straightforward explanatn based on psychologil observatns.

For example, sex-atypil functnal hemispheric asymmetry and nnectivy fdgs, such as those reported one study, 38 even if they would be replited, may be acunted for by var factors other than herent differenc bra stctur or functns between homosexuals and ntrols (e. Methodologilly, any cintal rrelatn the field of the “blogil” and behavral scienc—such as between some nro-anatomil, nro-functnal, or other physil factor and homosexualy—should first be nfirmed a seri of replitns, different sampl and by pennt rearchers, before n be regard as reasonably tablished. Further, the theoretil se of a proven physil rrelate of a behavral tra such as homosexualy, do not logilly follow that the physil variable is a e, nor even a disposn that would of self facilate or talyze homosexual velopment.

40The observatn that the homosexual tws of monozygotic pairs wh heterosexual -tws had more genr nonnformy terts and behavrs than their -tws, 41 as we saw illtrated the se of Nicholas Black, leads to a discsn of the importance of the peer factor the psychogenis of homosexualy.

44 Yet upon spectn of the tras posg the genr-nonnformy factor, “ may be [ the se of the pre-homosexual boy] the absence of mascule tras rather than the prence of feme tras that is the stronger and most fluential variable for a future homosexual orientatn adulthood.

49 Particularly relevant for the unrstandg of the velopment of same-sex tennci is the universal observatn that the genr nonnformg pre-homosexual children and teens very equently were, and above all, felt as if they were, outsirs their same-sex peer group. Relatively many pre-homosexual boys were overly fluenced by, attached to, or pennt on their mother, imatg her behavr and attus (although this do not necsarily imply affectnate closens), whereas the father did not play much of a role, or was perceived as rejectg.

That is why the well-tablished rrelatn between homosexualy and so-lled nroticism (nrotic tennci, emotnal stabily) nnot be attributed to social discrimatn, 71 the evable explanatn of those who have difficulty acceptg the trsic pathology of SSA. 83 In fact, the homosexual character nrosis, clive of homosexual pedophilia84 and probably also much of what is lled transsexualism, 85 is a syndrome of terrelated ponents: a genr ferry plex, unrveloped mascule/feme personaly habs, emotnal immatury, and excsive self-centeredns.

”88Immatury enpass a wi range of mental and behavral patterns, om fantile/pubcent attachments to the parents, to child-of-the-past behavr and thkg areas nnected wh masculy/femy ferry feelgs, to homosexual fantasi and relatnships proper. It avoids on one si the errors of a shallow humanist-materialist view of man, wh s bldns to the moral and spirual dimensns of the soul, and s factual difference to the emotnal, medil, and moral miseri of people abandoned to the self-stctivens of the homosexual way of life.

On the other si, this approach is at variance wh the primive mentaly, which although regnizg the unnaturalns and immoraly of homosexual behavr and liaisons, reacts wh mercils harshns toward those who may feel or act upon 1Defn: chronic same-sex attractn after age 17 or 18, acpanied by near-absence of or strongly rced heterosexual attractn.

The much more plsible alternative, a psychologil explanatn based on the fluence that the posn of “sweet ltle brother”—liebe Brürchen—has on the psychosexual velopment of some prehomosexual boys, was already scribed 1937 by Berl profsor of psychiatry I. Ldström, “PET and MRI Show Differenc Cerebral Asymmetry and Functnal Connectivy between Homo- and Heterosexual Subjects, ” PNAS 105 (2008), should be led out, too, that this speculative physil peculiary would be an effect of SSA (of a homosexual life style, dg abe, venereal diseas, AIDS, or medice) stead of a e or direct predisposn.

Hopks, “The Lbian Personaly, ” Brish Journal of Psychiatry 115 [1969]: 1433–1436; Oldham et al., “Sex Role Inty of Female Homosexuals”); as physilly darg or “not avoidg fights” childhood/adolcence (Thompson et al., “Parent-Child Relatnships and Sexual Inty”; Sbarli and Sbarli, Homossexualismo masculo e homossexualismo femo). Even a primive tribe such as the Sambia of New Guea, the (only) man intified as a homosexual was characterized by the faiar background factors: a nrotic man, brought up by his mother as her only child, whout a father, and a suatn of pronounced peer isolatn (R.

Loney, “Background Factors, Sexual Experienc, and Attus Towards Treatment Two ‘Normal’ Homosexual Sampl, ” Journal of Consultg and Clil Psychology 38 [1972]: 57–65); between ten and seventeen years, peakg at age thirteen to fourteen (van n Aardweg, On the Origs and Treatment of Homosexualy). 63Aled Adler, “Das Problem r Homosexualät” (The Problem of Homosexualy), Zeschrift r Individualpsychologie (1917; Leipzig: Hirzel, 1930), was the first to pot to the basic genr-ferry plex of homosexuals, which was a fundamental step forwards our unrstandg of the syndrome.

MOVG TOWARD A HOLISTIC NCEPTUAL AMEWORK FOR UNRSTANDG HEALTHY AGG AMONG GAY MEN

64The relatn between endurg ferry feelgs (that is, an ferry plex) and self-dramatizatn the se of homosexualy was first scribed by Dutch psychiatrist Johan Arndt, “Een bijdrage tot het zicht homoseksuale” (A Contributn to the Unrstandg of Homosexualy), Genekundige Blan 3 (1961): 65–105. Van n Aardweg, “Male Homosexualy and the Nroticism Factor, ” Dynamic Psychotherapy 3 (1985): 79–87, and On the Origs and Treatment of Homosexualy, 170–173 and 188–189, reviewed 17 studi parg homosexual wh heterosexual men up to 1986, and a few parg lbians wh ntrols.

Frnd et al., “Parent-Child Relatns Transsexual and Non-Transsexual Homosexual Mal, ” Brish Journal of Psychiatry 124 [1974]: 22–23), and there are marked siari both their childhood/teenage self-view and promiscuo sexualy (Grant et al., “Preexposure Chemoprophylaxis”). However, although may seem that their dramatized self-view of rejectn rults om non-acceptance bee of their homosexualy, actually trac back to their trmatic not-belongg to the childhood/adolcent same-sex world, which preced and provoked their orientatn.

IN CHIGO, A NEW APPROACH TO GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN WH PROSTATE CANCER

” Archiv of Sexual Behavr 32 [2003]: 403–417, examg 200 “ex-gays, ” found 11 percent of the men “pletely changed” (om homo- to heterosexualy) acrdg to strict creria (29 percent acrdg to more lenient creria), and 37 percent (or 63 percent) of the women. This thor reported that of 100 male ex-clients 43 percent stopped treatment wh a uple of months, 11 percent had changed radilly, 26 percent satisfactorily, 11 percent had improved, 9 percent were unchanged (average follow-up two to three years post-treatment; van n Aardweg, On the Origs and Treatment of Homosexualy, Table 40. One may get an imprsn of the unrlyg need of change-directed help om an cintal fdg, as reported by Bell and Weberg, Homosexuali, that between one fifth and one third of practicg male homosexuals regard their sexualy as an emotnal disorr, and that even 58 percent had sought psychologil or psychiatric assistance (for unspecified reasons; Bell et al., Sexual Preference).

To plement this rearch I took a different approach: I examed 6, 089 obuari of homosexual men om four homosexual magaz: The Bay Area Reporter, the Washgton Bla, the New York Bla and This Week, published between 1980 to 2014 clive. Purpose Driven LivgDisver a ep sense of purpose that spir your work, creativy and efforts to leave the world a ltle b your life, transform mistak to lsons and light the path before you and unrstand what means to live fully as a gay man.

AbstractBackgroundWhile a large body of rearch has sought to unrstand HIV transmissn risk behavurs among gay men, bisexual men and other men who have sex wh men (MSM), ls attentn has been paid to the wir sexual health and well-beg of this populatn. Many chari and other muny based HIV anisatns across the world have drawn on the broad prcipl of the Ottawa and Bangkok charters [26, 27] the velopment of their stutnal polici or strategic plans that seek to facilate a sense of sexual well-beg that extends beyond the absence of disease (see, for example: ACON New South Wal, Atralia [28]; Gay Men’s Health Crisis New York, USA [29]). We therefore aim to: (1) scribe the var dimensns of the ‘bt sex’ as articulated by gay and bisexual men, and (2) intify how equently such dimensns feature their llective thkg, and (3) scribe how men’s ias of the bt sex life vary acrdg to key mographic characteristics.
