This unique book includes candid, one-on-one interviews with key mental health professionals who played a role in the APA's decision, those who helped organize gay, lesbian, and bisexual psychiatrists after the decision, and others who have made significant contributions in this area within the mental health field."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject American Psychiatric Association -- History.
