Society and the Healthy Homosexual. New York: St. Martin's Press, 1972, reprinted 1983.

Society and the Healthy Homosexual by George Weinberg, Ph.D., was hailed as a landmark when first published. It is the book that pioneered the concept of widespread prejudice against homosexuals--homophobia. It explores the psychological factors underlying that prejudice and offers advice to help individuals overcome the prejudice and accept their sexuality.

“An important contribution to the dissident literature affirming homosexual identity in the jaws of centuries of persecution and discrimination.”
- The New York Times

“One of the most down-to-earth books of practical advice to homosexuals, straights, and parents.”
- Publishers Weekly

“Logic, humaneness, and imagination are all on his side.”
- Germaine Greer, Author of The Female Eunuch

“A landmark in the literature helping both gay and straight people who are coming to terms with homosexuality in our society.”
- Library Journal

“This book would be excellent for sociology classes on a high school or college level.”
