The psychodynamic motivations for the development of homosexuality in the male are seen as consisting of three types: homosexuality itself and two pseudohomosexual goals, dependency and power. The stand explicitly taken with each patient is that the goal is a change-over to a heterosexual position and that the homosexuality is a symptom that results from a defensive maneuver and is, therefore, of psychological genesis. The symptom is then treated like a phobia, the patient ultimately being required to come to grips with it in bed with a woman. Three case histories of successful treatment are presented.
