In Brazil, I found three related studies: one with professors of Psychology and two with Psychology students.
Camino and Pereira (2000) investigated professors of Psychology, relating their beliefs about homosexuality and their support to a Brazilian official resolution that prohibits pathologization of homosexuality. Lacerda, Pereira, and Camino (2002) investigated Psychology students relating their beliefs about the nature of homosexuality and levels of homophobia. Also, Psychology students are compared to Law students in a study by Araújo, Oliveira, Sousa, and Castanha (2007).

Hi,
I suggest to you, these two Italian studies about psychoanalysts and psychologists' attitudes towards homosexuality. I hope they could be useful for you:
- Lingiardi, V., & Capozzi, P. (2004). Psychoanalytic attitudes towards homosexuality: An empirical research. The International Journal of Psychoanalysis, 85(1), 137-157.
- Lingiardi, V., Nardelli, N., & Tripodi, E. (2015). Reparative attitudes of Italian psychologists toward lesbian and gay clients: Theoretical, clinical, and social implications. Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, 46(2), 132.
Best regards!
