Rethinking Homosexuality: What It Teaches Us About Psychoanalysis

Ralph E. Roughton

Emory University Psychoanalytic Institute, Ralphroughton{at}aol.com, Emory University Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences

This presentation, written ten years after the American Psychoanalytic Association adopted a nondiscrimination policy with regard to sexual orientation, discusses the evolving relationship between psychoanalysis and homosexuality. The paper is in three sections: (1) the process of policy change and the overturning of injustice; (2) the excursion after Freud's death into analytic bias and extreme pathologizing of homosexuality, the struggle to overcome those distortions, and the lessons to be learned from this history; and (3) the search, in the coming decade, for new understanding of homosexuality and all aspects of sexuality.
