Abstract
Gay men utilise psychotherapy at a higher rate than heterosexual men due to increased societal stressors. However, even though homosexuality has been depathologised since 1973, some therapists still seem to approach it from a pathological perspective. In Greece, societal attitudes towards homosexuality are highly negative, and issues of homosexuality and psychotherapy are absent from research literature. Overall, the existent literature on the psychotherapeutic experiences of gay men is sparse, and limited within the US and the UK. This paper explores the psychotherapeutic experiences of five gay men in Greece. Three narrative forms of therapy were identified: progression; tragedy; and dialectic conflict. Also, two commonalities were identified: therapy as the only way out, and the only gay in the room.
