Pages 95-105 | Published online: 04 Oct 2008
 

Abstract

While once homosexuality was considered a psychiatric disorder, this article examines the extent to which homophobia (antihomosexual behavior) may be regarded as a psychiatric disorder by considering whether it represents a phobic disorder or a prejudice. The implications of this classification for treatment and the role of education in overcoming antihomosexual behavior are addressed.
