Psychiatric Opinion And Homosexuality:

In a survey of opinion among 100 psychiatrists and 93 trainees in Australia, the majority endorsed the view either that "homosexuality is a developmental anomaly not necessarily or commonaly associated with neurotic symptoms" or that "homosexuality is a normal variant like left-handedness." Current psychiatric opinion on the nature of homosexuality has moved away from the traditional view that homosexuality is a neurotic disorder and is largely in accord witht the results of controlled studies of nonpatient homosexuals.
