description The author documents her experiences as she researched homosexual men. She discusses the adverse conditions that potentially threatened her achieving her research goals, including the demand of university officials that the research be conducted at the university. As confidentiality was imperative, the author insisted on conducting interviews at her home office. Starting in 1953 she received grants from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to research male homosexuality and in 1969 proposed an agenda outlining research and policy issues at NIMH. Hooker recently received a trust fund for almost a half million dollars from a gay man she had interviewed in the late 1950s to conduct research for the understanding of gay men and lesbians. The funds are now in the American Psychological Foundation under control of selected officers of Division 44. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
