Homosexuality
Conclusion I would say that compulsive homosexuality is a symptom-complex associated with extensive personality distortion. This distortion is initiated by the earliest experiences of the individual and perpetuated by the compulsive strategies evolved during the course of his existence. These constitute the neurotic aspect of his character structure. Homosexuality is essentially an outgrowth of acquired conflict relating to the whole person. It is the symbolic expression of a person's inner conflict in sexual language. What accounts for the specific choice of the symptom of homosexuality is not entirely clear. Specific experiential events apparently can cause a person to externalize his inner conflict on his sexual identity and use that as the shibboleth of his illness. The basic problem, however, remains one of alienation, compartmentalization, externalization, massive resignation and emptiness.
