Prevailing psychoanalytic attitudes toward male homosexuality are predisposed to the treatment of it as a psychopathological disorder. This study proposes that the appearance of disorder follows from the distortions imposed on the personality during development. Superego conflicts ensue that are relieved rather than resolved in the analysis, if the analyst shares the patient's conviction that it is sexuality that is disordered. The study's second point is the suggestion that the unifying characteristic of male homosexuals is to be found in the particular form of body narcissism that leads to same-sex choice. Third, it is proposed that analysts reconsider the likelihood that biogenetic elements enter into the homosexual outcome.
主流精神分析学对男性同性恋的态度倾向于将其视为一种精神病理障碍来治疗。本研究提出，这种障碍的表象源于个体在发育过程中人格所遭受的扭曲。如果分析师认同患者认为性取向本身是紊乱的这一信念，那么在分析过程中就会产生超我冲突，而这些冲突得到的是缓解而非解决。该研究的第二个观点是，男性同性恋者的统一特征在于导致同性选择的特定形式的身体自恋。第三，研究建议分析师重新考虑生物遗传因素促成同性恋结果的可能性。
