'Reasons for Homosexuality' opens up a radically new understanding of the psychological processes involved in the formation of what we call sexual orientation. It not only questions the everyday understanding of homosexuality and heterosexuality but also redefines our notions of what masculinity and femininity mean on entirely new foundations. The theory that Judith Le Soldat presents in this book is much more than a theory of homosexuality: it demonstrates that a precise analysis of the phenomenon of homosexuality simultaneously allows for entirely new, previously unrecognized insights into the fundamental functioning of the human soul.
