Ten years' experience with groups of four to eight male homosexuals, under fifty and of better than average intelligence, is reported. They had sought treatment because of involvement with the law, family disapproval, anxiety precipitated by fear of exposure, quarrels, depression, and suicide attempts.

Dynamically oriented sessions stressed parent-child and parent-parent relationships and the problems of the homosexual way of life. The group tended to break down the rationalizations of its members that they were content to be homosexual, was supportive during ensuing anxiety, urged the entering members to relinquish 'gay' mannerisms, and helped them to accept the facts of maladjustment and that their conditions could be changed.
