ConclusionsReviewsThis is an enormously important book. A work of profound scholarship and equally profound compassion, it places the psychoanalytic view of male homosexuality in historical perspective for the first time...Lewes brilliantly recaptures the views of the early analytic school and contrasts its complexity and comparative open-mindedness with the simplistic, polemical, and abusive dogma that subsequently gained hold...It is a model of dispassionate yet engaged research, a milestone in the restoration of human values. -- Martin Bauml Duberman ...after the death of Freud, American psychoanalysis provided strong support for the traditional prejudices against homosexuality in our society, often with devastating social and legal consequences. Kenneth Lewes's book is a carefully written, scholarly account of how its theories promoted this bigotry. The courage, candor, and honesty with which he treats this painful theme are admirable. -- Louis Crompton I think it is the best overview of the psychoanalytic attitudes toward homosexuality that I have read. It emphasizes how much psychoanalysts were prisoners of their own prejudices...Hopefully, this book will lead psychoanalysts to do the kind of critical examination of their own discipline and assumptions which every scholarly and scientific discipline should. Lewes has certainly finished enough data for them to start such an examination. -- Vern L. Bullough Lewes's book is perhaps the most important work on psychoanalysis and homosexuality since Freud ... All future attempts to understand psychoanalytic conceptualizations and treatments of homosexuality must now begin with Lewes's monograph. -- Ritch C. Savin-Williams This is an enormously important book. A work of profound scholarship and equally profound compassion, it places the psychoanalytic view of male homosexuality in historical perspective for the first time...Lewes brilliantly recaptures the views of the early analytic school and contrasts its complexity and comparative open-mindedness with the simplistic, polemical, and abusive dogma that subsequently gained hold...It is a model of dispassionate yet engaged research, a milestone in the restoration of human values.--Martin Bauml Duberman Author InformationKenneth Lewes is an independent scholar and clinician living in New York City.
