The author points out that homosexual families are not being treated by family psychotherapy despite an indicated need. This situation is inconsistent with good community psychiatry and behooves the mental health workers to become aware of and to work through his unrecognized negative feelings which are interfering with provision of services. Among the main resistances are the lack of familiarity and comfort with the family psychotherapy technique, inability to resist a greater gratification that comes from focusing on sex rather than on a less titillating relationship issue, and judgmental and condemning attitudes toward homosexuality that come from intrapsychic and societal sources.
作者指出，尽管有明显需求，但同性恋家庭并未得到家庭心理治疗。这种情况与良好的社区精神病学不符，心理健康工作者理应意识到并克服其未被认识到的负面情绪，这些情绪正在干扰服务的提供。主要阻力包括对家庭心理治疗技术缺乏熟悉感和舒适度，无法抗拒因关注性而非不那么刺激的关系问题而带来的更大满足感，以及来自内心和社会层面的对同性恋的评判和谴责态度。
