Summary

An anticipatory avoidance aversion therapy is described in the treatment of 45 homosexuals. Thirty-sex patients completed treatment and 25 of them were significantly improved (14 Kinsey 0, 9 Kinsey 1, and 2 Kinsey 2). This figure (58%) is unusually high, and it is believed that the appropriatness of the learning technique is mainly responsible for the results, which have remained valid over a one-year follow-up. Some prognostic features are discussed.
