Scope and Content of Collection

Anonymous surveys, notes and unpublished manuscript materials from C. Leroy (Lee) Westbrook's uncompleted dissertation in Psychology, "A Comparative Study of the Relationship of Childhood Christian Religious Training To Adjustment Problems of Gay and Straight Men." Having been raised as the son of an American Baptist minister, Westbrook stated that he chose this topic because he was aware in his own life of issues raised and struggles caused by the juxtaposition of his gayness and the religious training he received as a youngster. The collection includes personal data forms and sexual orientation statements, religious training surveys, surveys about areas of special church influence or impact, and Tennessee Self-Concept Scales, Form C. There is also a CV, his statement explaining why the thesis was not completed and his obituary. Westbrook was born in 1942 and died of AIDS in 1991.
