- Summary
- This "collection of Dr. Lionel Ovesey's pioneering papers on the psychodynamics of male homosexuality is a must for any physician or worker in the field who wishes to comprehend the complexity of this subject. He has spelled out some of the variables that provoke and perpetuate homosexual adaptations in the true homosexual and pseudohomosexual. His findings are a breakthrough from forty-five years of fixed stereotyped thinking and theoretical reincantations which simplistically reduced to solely intrafamilial dynamics all forms of homosexuality as it appeared in millions of men and women. The implications of his findings are vast and enlightening."--Jacket.
