ABSTRACT
This article is based on the author's work with six married men who had varying degrees of homosexual orientation. Four of their wives were also seen by the author's co-therapist.
This article briefly describes the history of each couple, the nature of clinical intervention with the husbands, and the outcomes. Four of the couples divorced while two stayed together. The sources of problems in these marriages and variables which may be associated with couples choosing either to divorce or to stay married are considered. Three phases of clinical intervention are described.
The article concludes with an exploration of some of the clinical dilemmas these cases present, as well as specific areas which require further study.
