I have discovered an article written in 1971 regarding the psychological treatment of homosexuals at the time.


"Summary - A random sample of 163 professional therapists in private
practice in the San Francisco Bay Area were surveyed on their attitudes toward
treatment of homosexuals, diagnostic categories, and other matters. Results indicated
a majority had some (limited) experience with (predominantly male)
homosexuals, most would use but few preferred group therapy for homosexuals,
treatment goals were mixed, change of sex orientation in treatment was minor,
but belief in its possibility widespread; there was considerable disagreement with
some diagnostic categories, little support for mandatory treatment, near-unanimity
on liberalization of the law, widespread support for non-exclusionary employment policies."

Here is a link to the PDF. I hope you will find this as interesting as I did.
