Clinical Views on Sexual Disorders in the 1970s

This essay on sexual disorders outlines postwar views on the topic, noting that the field grouped disorders into three broad categories: sexual dysfunctions, sexual deviations, and homosexuality. Reference to the work of Masters and Johnson and the APA's 1973 decision to stop categorizing homosexuality as a disorder provide historical context.

Bridget's feedback:

"This essay proceeds through the discussion in a clear and well-organized manner that uses signposting and structure to ensure the reader's attention and comprehension. In looking over the bibliography, I find myself questioning the purpose of this essay, as the two sources date from the 1970s. If you continue work with this essay, I recommend deciding if you want to update the discussion to the present time, incorporating the most recent texts, or if you want to write an essay explaining the views on sexual disorders half a century ago; if you choose the latter, do consider updating the reader on what has changed and what stayed the same in the intervening time to help build ethos and orient the reader."
