Transcription

Summary—Attempts to modify homosexual behavior usually require several behavioral techniques to deal adequately with the multiple components that are typically associated with the problem A 23-yr-old homosexual male was treated by a combination of systematic desensitization, electrical aversive counter conditioning, masturbation training, and practice in heterosexual social skills. After 14 weeks of treatment, the client reported a marked increase in heterosexual arousal, marked reductions in homosexual arousal and heterosexual anxiety, and exclusively heterosexual behavior. A follow-up after 6 months indicated that the changes had been maintained.
