It is important to clarify that Richard Isay (1934–2012) was a prominent gay psychiatrist and psychoanalyst known for his work on gay male development. However, he did not author a book titled The Internalized Homophobia Workbook . The most likely source of confusion is either a misattribution or a confusion with another text (e.g., The Internalized Homophobia Workbook by Richard Isay does not exist in his published catalog; Isay’s major works include Being Homosexual and Becoming Gay ).
