The Homosexual Neurosis (1922) - Wilhelm Stekel - Bog

The Homosexual Neurosis, originally published in 1922, is a pioneering work on homosexuality by Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Stekel. The book explores the complex psychological and emotional factors that contribute to same-sex attraction and behavior, drawing on case studies and clinical observations to offer a nuanced understanding of this controversial topic.Stekel's approach is grounded in psychoanalytic theory, and he argues that homosexuality is a form of neurosis that can be traced back to early childhood experiences and conflicts. He examines the role of family dynamics, cultural norms, and personal identity in shaping sexual orientation, and he challenges prevailing attitudes toward homosexuality as a pathological or deviant condition.Despite its age, The Homosexual Neurosis remains a significant contribution to the field of psychoanalysis and an important historical document in the study of sexuality. Stekel's insights and observations continue to inform contemporary discussions of homosexuality and its place in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
