A comparative study of 30 transsexualist, 30 homosexual, and 30 exhibitionist cases, together with 94 neurotics, has been carried out and reported in the previous issue. It emphasises the apparent importance of parental relationships for normal sexual identification and eventual choice of sexual object. Pathological development is seen in its most severe form amongst the transsexualists.
It would seem that further prospective studies of male children who have paternal deprivation, and especially of children with transsexualist fathers, would be of value. Developments in the clarification of influences predisposing towards such abnormal development may lead to major advances in prophylaxis.
