The Homosexual Neuroses (1922)

The Homosexual Neuroses is a book written by William Stekel and originally published in 1922. The book explores the psychological and emotional issues faced by individuals who identify as homosexual, from a psychoanalytic perspective. Stekel argues that homosexuality is not a choice, but rather a result of various unconscious factors and early childhood experiences. He also explores the impact of societal attitudes towards homosexuality on the mental health of individuals who identify as such. The book includes case studies and clinical observations, and provides insights into the challenges faced by individuals struggling with their sexual identity. While some of the ideas presented in the book may be considered outdated or controversial by modern standards, it remains a landmark work in the history of psychoanalytic thought on homosexuality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
