"The Homosexual Neurosis" by Wilhelm Stekel is a pioneering work that delves into the psychological underpinnings of homosexuality, framed within the early 20th-century context. Stekel, a contemporary of Freud, explores the intricacies of sexual orientation, attributing it to various neuroses and psychological conflicts. Through detailed case studies and psychoanalytic theory, he attempts to understand the complexities of homosexual behavior and its manifestations. While the book reflects the period's limited understanding and biases, it remains a significant historical text in the study of human sexuality and psychoanalysis.
