Summary

The origin of homosexuality and other deviations from the normal seems to originate in very early child-hood experiences. Cases are given, some relating to treatment 30 years back, and others more recent, which indicate that when these causes are discovered and the experiences revived the patient is able to adjust himself to them in a way he was unable to do as an infant, and is thereby cured. This process of cure is a long one, and cannot be considered a practical answer to the wide-spread incidence of homosexuality. Probably the main benefit in analysing these cases and the discovery of their causes is that we may find the means to prevent them.
