The Early Development of Homosexuality: A Study of Adolescent Lesbians

The reversed oedipal formulation that appears to describe many lesbians raised in intact nuclear families was not found. Findings from the study suggest that homosexuality may be a final common behavior pathway rather than a single entity with a single etiology.
