A review of the literature of outcome studies in the psychoanalytic or behavioral treatment of homosexuality reveals limited results when "heterosexual shift" is the goal. Recently, however, a growing body of empirical knowledge has accumulated that challenges the illness or maladaptive model of homosexuality. Consequently, a new model has been emerging that is designed to assist homosexuals to recognize, accept, and value their sexual identity and to help them adjust to this identity in a predominantly heterosexual society. Unfortunatley, only a few studies exist that examine the result of this new approach.
对精神分析或行为疗法治疗同性恋的结果研究文献进行回顾后发现，以“转变为异性恋”为目标时，结果有限。然而，最近积累了越来越多的实证知识，对同性恋的疾病或适应不良模型提出了挑战。因此，一种新的模型正在出现，该模型旨在帮助同性恋者认识、接受并重视他们的性取向，并帮助他们在以异性恋为主的社会中适应这种身份。不幸的是，仅有少数研究探讨了这种新方法的效果。
