具體描述
This is the groundbreaking examination of the psychology of homosexuality and why it leads to shame over one's identity, and how to overcome it - now expanded and fully updated. Today's gay man enjoys unprecedented, hard-won social acceptance. Despite this victory, however, serious problems still exist. Substance abuse, depression, suicide and sex addiction among gay men are at an all-time high, causing many to ask, "Are we really better off?" Drawing on contemporary research, psychologist Alan Downs' own struggle with shame and anger, and stories from his patients, "The Velvet Rage" passionately describes the stages of a gay man's journey out of shame and offers practical and inspired strategies to stop the cycle of avoidance and self-defeating behaviour. Updated to reflect the effects of the many recent social, cultural and political changes, "The Velvet Rage" is an empowering book that has already changed the public discourse on gay culture and helped shape the identity of an entire generation of gay men.

用戶評價
一本關於“how to be authentic and true to yourself”的工具書，可是在對於由性取嚮所帶來的shame和rage的描述和觀察上還是沒能避免刻闆印象的傾嚮。性取嚮隻是“我是誰”的一部分，對不同的人的影響可大也可小。作為txl，對於自己身份的認同感以及如何麵對/處理和傢裏的關係是一段感情是否能長遠的關鍵，這也和作者不斷強調的authenticity不謀而閤，健康和長久的戀愛關係，一定是需要兩個“健全”的人的相互維係，缺一不可。
评分最說得通的是shame理論，其它的有些微牽強（或者是因為我沒有相應經曆），以至於在stage three顯得很亂，盡管八卦依舊好看。 的確在裏麵找到瞭我自己。 /200222: 看到終章瞭，這章寫作者自己的故事，格外好。除瞭羞恥，還有認可、真實等理論，其實到最後都發展得比較成熟。goodreads和amazon上的批評主要在於作者忽略瞭白人中産同性戀意外的男同性戀者，這個有什麼關係啊，完全沒有減損這本書的價值。 /200222: 讀畢，精彩。
评分14章給齣的list很有趣。作者以3 stages of gay men的發展曆程敘述；看完後覺得我們並不需要用哪個stage去歸類自己，而是意識到我們時刻都在不同的stage之間遊走，更要保持警醒。願每個人都能獲得authenticity
评分為瞭深刻反思自己要讀gender studies的動機（以及遲遲不改論文的拖延），晚上花兩小時讀瞭前三章，太厲害瞭。通過對shame和rage兩種情感深入淺齣的闡釋，解釋瞭為什麼most gay men are unhappy。。。
