PSYCHOTHERAPEUTICAbstract
Though the human adolescent travels the road from embryonic bisexuality into eventual anatomic sexual definitiveness and ordinarily develops sexual heteroeroticism, nevertheless failure of this last normal link in the developmental lineage does occur. It is here that we become confronted with the various areas of pathological sexuality among which the segment of homosexuality cuts a wide swath. I constantly see and continue to exert therapeutic efforts to assist not inconsiderable numbers of these persons in whatever and varied settings they may appear. Based upon this enduring contact I have come to conclude that confirmed individuals diagnosable within this homosexual patient grouping invariably carry a dubious if not despairing prognosis. Some of these patients, who, in certain instances volitionally seek "cure" when presenting themselves for the ostensible purpose of getting well, really are unawarely in search of release from the ignominy, contempt and ridicule in which they are held by (heterosexual) society.
