This qualitative study explores the life history of Bruce, a gay man, from the perspective of homophobia. Homophobia is the fear and hatred expressed toward gay men, lesbians, and bisexual women or men as well as persons suspected of being gay, lesbian, and bisexual. Homophobia may become internalized, creating a form of self-hatred derived from the negative stereotypes associated with homosexuality. Bruce's life was shaped by the homophobia of others and his own self-hatred, leading to isolation and a lack of a projected authentic identity. This article focuses on the affective meanings related to significant events in Bruce's life history and how they contributed to transformation in his life from victimic to agentic themes. It is important for occupational therapy practitioners to recognize the influence that homophobia and internalized homophobia have on therapeutic interventions.
这项定性研究从恐同症的角度探讨了同性恋男子布鲁斯的生活史。恐同症是指对男同性恋者、女同性恋者、双性恋女性或男性以及被怀疑为同性恋、女同性恋和双性恋的人所表达的恐惧和仇恨。恐同症可能会内化，产生一种源于与同性恋相关的负面刻板印象的自我仇恨形式。布鲁斯的生活受到他人的恐同症和他自己的自我仇恨的影响，导致他孤立无援，缺乏一个预期的真实身份。本文重点关注与布鲁斯生活史中重大事件相关的情感意义，以及这些事件如何促成他从受害者主题到能动者主题的生活转变。职业治疗从业者认识到恐同症和内化恐同症对治疗干预的影响很重要。
