The author analyzed the therapeutic process of a 26-year old urticaria patient whose symptoms were closely connected with his anxiety over homosexuality, and discussed the healing mechanisms summarized as follows : 1. Occupational therapy was used, as part of the holistic approach to the patient, in order to help him project his inner problems and feelings particularly when he was having difficulty in verberlization. This turned out to be effective and timesaving.2. The patient's distorted attitudes toward sex, depicted quite freely in the products of occupational therapy, were evaluated from the psychodynamic standpoint.3. The process of what W. Luthe calls self-neutralization was applied by helping the patient go through the stages of distorted sexual patterns such as autosexual, homosexual, transsexual, etc. and eventually reach the inherent end of being heterosexual. This process was further reinforced by sex re-education.4. To the above approach was added social work in the extra-therapeutic situation where the patient was helped to rehearse what he achieved in therapy and to adjust himself to the reality of living.
