Description
Summary:Compares studies employing patient and nonpatient samples. R. B. Evans (see 43:7) has made an important contribution to etiological studies of male homosexuality by replicating the I. Bieber (see 40:2) questionnaire items with a nonpatient sample. Nonpatient samples are important because of the possibility of ruling out the contaminating factor of psychopathology other than homosexuality. Serious questions are raised about the role of parent-child disturbed relations as necessary and sufficient conditions leading to adult male homosexuality. Other etiological variables are briefly stated.
