In 1973, after a prolonged period of social agitation and professional conflict, the American Psychiatric Association deleted homosexuality from its official listing of psychiatric disorders (DSM-II). In its place a new classification for homosexuals distressed over their orientation was to be included in DSM-II. Four years later an acrimonious dispute surfaced over the status of homosexuality in the revised APA nomenclature of disorders (DSM-III). The edited correspondence of the participants in this dispute is presented here as a way of revealing the lingering conflict over homosexuality within American psychiatry.
1973年，在经历了长期的社会动荡和专业冲突之后，美国精神病学协会从其官方的精神疾病列表（《精神疾病诊断与统计手册第二版》）中删除了同性恋。取而代之的是，对于因性取向而苦恼的同性恋者的一种新分类将被纳入《精神疾病诊断与统计手册第二版》。四年后，一场激烈的争论浮出水面，涉及同性恋在修订后的美国精神病学协会疾病命名法（《精神疾病诊断与统计手册第三版》）中的地位。这里呈现了这场争论参与者的编辑信件，以此揭示美国精神病学内部对同性恋问题持续存在的冲突。
