Publisher Synopsis
." . . readers with strong clinical backgrounds stand to benefit most from Kantor's assessment of the root causes, and concomitant pathological expression, of homophobia in individuals. Kantor makes the compelling observation that homophobia, though less overt now than when the first edition of this book appeared, is perhaps more pervasive and damaging to its victims and society now. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students through professionals." - Choice
