- Title
HOMOSEXUALITY AND CREATIVITY.
- Authors
Ellis, Albert
- Abstract
The article discusses the relation between homosexuality and creativity. Although there is much speculation about homosexuals being more artistic or creative than heterosexuals, a search of the literature discloses no objective studies in this connection. Indeed, studies of homosexuals which employ an adequate control group of heterosexuals and which compare any of their characteristics or aspects of their behavior with those of a control group are very rare. This study compares a group of homosexual patients in psychotherapy with an equated group of highly heterosexual psychotherapy patients to determine group differences in clinical diagnosis, creativity and clinical improvement during therapy.
