title: [Specifics of relations in homosexual couples].
abstract: While working with homosexual couples, professionals have to recognize specific conditions they live in and the characteristics of their relation dynamics. Patterns elaborated for working with heterosexual couples are often useless in the case of homosexual couples and may even lead to a misunderstanding of their behaviours. This especially refers to the roles they play in the couples, the problem of acceptance of their sexuality, experiences connected with the process of sexual orientation disclosure and others. Taking into consideration differences between homosexual and heterosexual couples is crucial while dealing with their problems.
