'All that is left is to pretend. But to pretend to the end of one's
life is the highest torment.' So wrote the composer Peter
Tchaikovsky following his marriage to his student, Antonina
Milyukov, 1877. How common is such a conclusion today amongst males
with homosexual tendencies and who have married women? Why
homosexuals marry women, and the consequences, are open questions
to which this book, originally published in 1983, addresses itself.
Despite a recent increase in publications on homosexuality at the
time, there was very little available on the married homosexual
man, and this study was particularly welcome in that it provided
information and conclusions which would assist both the lay person
and the helping professional to a better understanding. Michael
Ross describes the social pressures which affect homosexuals, and
looks at the effects of living in a contradictory life-style. He
looks at the heterosexually-married homosexual man in terms of his
reasons for his marriage, the problems he finds in his marriage,
and some of the adjustments and adaptations he makes in response to
the pressures from family and society. The socio-psychological
profile of the married homosexual which is provided here explains
both the mechanisms by which homosexuals deal with societal
pressures and the problems and perspectives of the married
homosexual. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1983.
The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is
meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
A major text for clinicians and researchers who have an interest in
homosexuality and homosexual patients with mental disorders, this
book is an up-to-date review as well as a handbook covering the
full range of affirmative treatments and therapies for lesbian and
gay clients. Expert contributors look at problems caused by stigma
and homophobic societal attitudes and discuss methods that can be
used to work with gay clients in a positive context. Other issues
of particular importance in working with lesbians and gay men are
addressed.
"I'm like a whirling leaf in the wind," said one of Dr. Lena
Nilsson SchOnnesson' s patients, and another "I'm in the claws of
HIV." Their voices and those of other HIV-positive patients frame
the humanistic and scholarly discussion in this impor tant book.
Dr. SchOnnesson, a Fulbright scholar at the HIV Center for Clinical
and Behavioral Studies, Columbia University in 1995, has unusually
extensive clinical experience in counseling HIV-positive gay men.
Her work with 38 such patients treated between 1986 and 1995 is
discussed in the pages that follow. Dr. SchOnnesson's longitudinal
approach to clinical data is extremely unusual in the psychotherapy
literature generally, and in the literature on counseling HIV
positive men in particular. Building upon the experience of such
recent scholar clinicians as Klitzman, Isay, Schaffner, and others,
Dr. SchOnnesson adds some thing unique by analyzing her ongoing
detailed notes of the psychotherapeutic process in a systematic
quantitative as well as qualitative manner. The analysis of her
data is further informed by her coauthor, Dr. Michael Ross, a
therapist and investigator whose contribution to the clinical and
research literature on the psychotherapeutic treatment of gay men
has already been substantial."
In this important book, editor Michael Ross brings together the
latest knowledge and research concerning the relationship between
HIV and AIDS and sexual functioning. HIV/AIDS and Sexuality
explores the experiences of being HIV-infected and the impact of
infection on an individual's sexuality. It describes differences
that may be associated with individuals who are infected or
concerned about infection, and it provides new in-depth analyses of
the effect of HIV on sexuality and sexual risks. The book provides
clinical perspectives on sexual problems associated with HIV
infection as well as some treatment approaches. Contributing
authors represent the United States, Australia, and Europe and
discuss heterosexual men and women, gay men, lesbians, and
injecting drug users. This diversity provides a more complete
picture of the experiences of people with HIV in terms of explicit
and implicit sexuality. Chapters include cross-sectional and cohort
study designs as well as qualitative, quantitative, and clinical
approaches. Some of the topics explored are: the centrality of
sexuality to equality of life and identity and the impact of HIV on
sexuality in gay-identified men the psychological impact of making
changes in sexual behavior on gay men with HIV infection risk
behaviors in seropositive and seronegative women a study of a
cohort of HIV-infected women associated with the military sexual
addiction in gay men and its association with HIV risks overt and
subtle communications processes that occur between health care
providers and clients about sexuality and HIV stages of change in
safer sexual practices in a cohort of gay men personality variables
associated with risk and infection in both homosexual and
heterosexual menHIV/AIDS and Sexuality opens up the area of
sexuality in people living with HIV and focuses much-needed
attention on the issues involved in sexual expression, HIV
transmission risk, and living with HIV infection. This book is an
illuminating exploration into the subject that helps professionals
better understand their clients and thus provide more compassionate
and effective care.
Psychovenereology investigates the psychological factors in human
disease (i.e. personality and lifestyle) and their effect on the
rate of contraction of sexually transmitted diseases. It also
describes the associated illnesses among people who contract
sexually related disease and how social mores affect the
individual's perception of the disease and how that perception, in
turn, affects compliance with treatment. The book also addresses
the whole chain of events ranging from high-risk behavior and its
psychological determinants to the direct causes of infections and
their psychological implications. Concentrating on the homosexual
male, this book describes the growing field of psychovenereology
and suggests educational and preventative techniques which can help
break the psychological patterns of infection related behavior.

Helping you to apply many different diagnostic tools, Diagnosis and
Management of Lameness in the Horse, 2nd Edition explores both
traditional treatments and alternative therapies for conditions
that can cause gait abnormalities in horses. Written by an
international team of authors led by Mike Ross and Sue Dyson, this
resource describes equine sporting activities and specific lameness
conditions in major sport horse types. It emphasizes accurate and
systematic observation and clinical examination, with in-depth
descriptions of diagnostic analgesia, radiography, ultrasonography,
nuclear scintigraphy, magnetic resonance imaging, computed
tomography, thermography, and surgical endoscopy. Broader in scope
than any other book of its kind, this edition includes a companion
website with 47 narrated video clips demonstrating common forelimb
and hindlimb lameness as well as gait abnormalities. Cutting-edge
information on diagnostic application for computed tomography and
magnetic resonance imaging includes the most comprehensive section
available on MRI in the live horse. Coverage of traditional
treatment modalities also includes many aspects of alternative
therapy, with a practical and realistic perspective on prognosis.
An examination of the various types of horses used in sports
describes the lameness conditions to which each horse type is
particularly prone, as well as differences in prognosis. Guidelines
on how to proceed when a diagnosis cannot easily be reached help
you manage conditions when faced with the limitations of current
diagnostic capabilities. Clinical examination and diagnostic
analgesia are given a special emphasis. Practical, hands-on
information covers a wide range of horse types from around the
world. A global perspective is provided by a team of international
authors, editors, and contributors. A full-color insert shows
thermography images. Updated chapters include the most current
information on topics such as MRI, foot pain, stem cell therapy,
and shock wave treatment. Two new chapters include The Biomechanics
of the Equine Limb and its Effect on Lameness and Clinical Use of
Stem Cells, Marrow Components, and Other Growth Factors. The
chapter on the hock has been expanded substantially, and the
section on lameness associated with the foot has been completely
rewritten to include state-of-the-art information based on what has
been learned from MRI. Many new figures appear throughout the book.
A companion website includes 47 narrated video clips of gait
abnormalities, including typical common syndromes as well as rarer
and atypical manifestations of lameness and neurological
dysfunction, with commentary by author/editors Mike Ross and Sue
Dyson. References on the companion website are linked to the
original abstracts on PubMed.
