A PSYCHOTHERAPIST
RICHARD HAUSER, Director of the Centre for Group Studies
MICHAEL SCHOFIELD, Research Director of the Central Council of Health Education
Chairman, GEORGE Scorr

This programme, like the first, is concerned with the way male homosexuals think, feel, and behave. There is no attempt to discuss controversial legal and moral issues. Michael Schofield looks at the problem as a sociologist, and tonight's discussion, in which he is joined by three other social scientists, is concerned with the current state of knowledge about male homosexuals.
