Emotional problems do not discriminate according to sexual orientation. Therefore, gay men have the same emotional difficulties as everyone else. Supportive psychotherapy for gay men with emotional problems is a gay-aware approach to therapy that can elmininate a broad range of emotional difficulties that gay men experience, but that are not exclusive to gay men. It is a diagnosis based approach that shows therapists how psychological problems can be buried in a gay context and guides them to recognition and dynamic evaluation that forms the basis of a treatment plan that is simultaneously affirmative, supportive, and corrective.
