Book Description

An essential resource for clinicians wishing guidelines for evaluating males with conflicts involving sexual orientation and for researchers and students of sexual behavior, this book is the first to integrate recent psychobiological, gender identity, and family studies with psychoanalytic theory.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Very thorough.......1999-05-07

The author is a psychiatrist who pays closer attention to people with personality disorders than to normal people. The case studies are very interesting, although often tragic, because they focus on sick people (both Gay and straight).

He points out that Gay people are not necessarily "sicker" or "healthier" than straight people.

The author explains that development of human sexuality is very complex and differs from individual to individual. However, his specific theory, while not radical, has incited some controversy.
