Abstract
Forty patients who requested treatment to reduce homosexual impulses were randomly allocated to receive apomorphine or aversion-relief therapy. Details have been published (McConaghy, 1969), concerning the subjects, the method of treatment and the changes observed two weeks after treatment in reported subjective feelings and in penile volume responses to pictures of nude males and females. A further analysis of the penile volume responses at this time has now been made, and the subjects have been followed up for at least a year.Keywords
