Infuriated by the\u003cbr\u003eBoard's action, a substantial number of dissident psychiatrists\u003cbr\u003echarged the association's leadership with capitulating to the pressures\u003cbr\u003eof Gay Liberation groups, and forced the board to submit its decision\u003cbr\u003eto a referendum of the full APA membership. Ronald Bayer presents\u003cbr\u003ea political analysis of the psychiatric battle involved, from the first\u003cbr\u003econfrontations organized by gay demonstrators at psychiatric conventions to the referendum initiated by orthodox psychiatrists. The result is a fascinating view of the individuals who led the debate and the fundamental questions that engaged them: social and cultural values, the definition of disease, and the nature of sexuality. Available for the\u003cbr\u003efirst time in paperback, the book includes a new afterword by the\u003cbr\u003eauthor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronald Bayer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.66w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691028378","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40191856509043,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":59.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_3382c61d-617b-4fbe-a5c1-45da0ab60213.jpg?v=1655905689","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/homosexuality-and-american-psychiatry-the-politics-of-diagnosis-9780691028378","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
