Quote from this book "Homosexuality has been studied primarily by psychiatrists and psychologists. Most see homosexuality as a psycho-pathological condition. For example, major proponents of this view state: 'We consider homosexuality to be a pathologic, bio-social, psychsexual adaptation consequent to pervasive fears surrounding the expression of heterosexual impulses.' 'All psychoanalytic theories assume that adult homosexuality is psychopathologic.' Underlying this conception is the notion that heterosexuality is the normal, natural outcome of sexual development against which other forms of sexual expression are to be compared. Furthermore, the idea of a 'cure' is implied when homosexuality is viewed as pathological. Of course, not all psychiatrists and psychologists subscribe to this perspective, but a sufficient number do to have greatly affected the way many persons conceive of homosexuality as well as the direction research has taken in this area." opening paragraphs, Chapter One (references omitted) Secondhand booksellers |
