title: [Counseling male adolescents with homosexual orientation and their parents].
abstract: In counseling of adolescents with a homosexual orientation and their parents we are not only confronted with the typical conflicts of this developmental phase as those between autonomy and dependence. Moreover we are concerned with specific problems which--because of the coming out--result for the adolescent himself as well as for the whole family system. It is important in such counseling that the following three questions are considered: the characteristic tendencies of separation of the adolescent and the parental reactions to it, the parental acceptance of the homosexual orientation of their son, and the coming out process for the adolescent and the family as a whole.
