Based on clinical experience with 16 homosexual men married to women, this paper suggests that the motivation of such men for entering into marriage is associated with early self-esteem injury that has made social compliance important and acceptance of sexual orientation impossible. The typical course of these marriages is described, case histories of three married men who entered treatment in their forties are presented, and principles for therapeutic intervention are outlined.
基于对16名与女性结婚的男同性恋者的临床经验，本文表明，这类男性步入婚姻的动机与早期自尊受到伤害有关，这种伤害使得社会顺从变得重要，而接受性取向则变得不可能。文中描述了这些婚姻的典型过程，呈现了三名在四十多岁时开始接受治疗的已婚男性的病例史，并概述了治疗干预的原则。
