ARTICLES

Three addresses from the recent 4th Annual Convention of the Mattachine Society are published in this issue. Two of them are related to the theme above, and were among five addresses delivered at the afternoon symposium at which the theme was featured.

William A. Baker and Julia W. Coleman, master social workers from San Carlos, Calif., are authors of the papers in this issue. As a team, they counsel individuals and conduct group therapy projects in their community.

Those in attendance at the convention heard Mr. Baker and Miss Coleman, who appeared along with Harry Benjamin, M.D., Alfred Auerback, M.D., and Leo J. Zeff, therapist.

The Review is grateful, indeed to publish the papers of these speakers so that the good fortune of those attending the convention can be shared with readers of the magazine. Future issues will carry additional papers in this series.
