A primer on homophobia for the child and adolescent psychiatrist. James Lock; Brian N. Kleis. Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, June 1998 v37 n6 p671(3)
Homophobia is a major problem facing adolescents, particularly gays and lesbians. A number of cases of assault, suicide, substance abuse and Homelessness among homosexual teenagers can be traced directly from homophobic attitudes. It is therefore important for child and adolescent psychiatrists to help change homophobic attitudes through their clinical work. This can be done by targeting therapeutic interventions at different developmental stages when children's ideas and attitudes are formed. InfoTrac.
