homosexuality, ego-dystonic |
|
|
|
A sustained pattern of overt homosexual arousal that is a source of distress. When DSM-III was revised in 1987, ego-dystonic homosexuality was deleted as a diagnostic entity because "almost all people who are homosexual first go through a phase in which their homosexuality is ego dystonic" (Appendix, DSM-III-R). This category is not included in DSM-IV. Source: Edgerton, Jane E. 1994. American Psychiatric Glossary, 7th Edition. Washington, DC: American Psychiatric Press
