    abstract = {It has been proven for so long that family plays a fundamental role in individuals’ mental structures
  and it is regarded as the primary secure foundation for a person. As studies show, family has specific and
  unique functions. Through a proper functioning, the family has the ability to provide for the arrangements of
  individuals’ independency and differentiation of self, developing resistance and properresiliencein them against
  stressful and anxiety-provoking situations. It seems that people with homosexual disorders show a low
  resilience against stressful and anxiety-provoking situations. Homosexual people are commonly from families
  with undesirable functioning. Accordingly, the present study was conducted to assess the relationship
  between family functioning, differentiation and resilience and stress, anxiety and depression in people suffering
  from homosexual disorders in Kermanshah province in 2014. To study the target population, the number of 40
  homosexual people was selected. Since, they hid their conditions, sampling was based on snowball sampling
  method in the way that each subject introduced the next subject. Then the purpose of the study was explained
  to them ensuring them the data will be kept confidential and they were asked to fill out the questionnaires. To
  analyze data, descriptive (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics methods (correlation coefficient
  and regression) were used.The research findings indicated that there is a positive and significant relationship
  between family functioning and resilience. Additionally, the findings suggested that there is also a positive and
  significant relationship between family functioning and differentiation. Moreover, there is a positive and
  significant association between resilience and differentiation. The results indicated that there is a significant
  and inverse relationship between family functioning, differentiation and resilience and stress, anxiety and
  depression.}
