Chris Waters has argued that, whilst in Britain in the inter-war period (1920s and 1930s) sexological understandings of homosexuality were more influential than the work of Freud, by the 1950s psychoanalytic accounts of the aetiology of homosexuality had come to cominate - to varying degrees - the English-speaking world. What this meant was that the notion of homosexuality as innate was slowly superseded by an image of homosexuality as a form of arrested development that could be cured by therapeutic means. Waters suggests that this shift was, in part, the result of the discrediting of the work of sexologists such as Ellis by Freudians such as Ernest Jones, and, in part, the effect of the use of psychoanlytic paradigms by an increasing number of criminologists working on delinquency in the inter-war period. But Freudian psychoanlysis, as it was developed and practiced by both Jones and his followers and by many of the British criminologists, was much more inclined to the view that homosexuality was more or less the sole result of environmental factors, and thus was inevitably suceptible to therapeutic intervention, than was Freud. Waters supports this claim by citing Jones' criticism of Freud's tolerant attitude toward one of his lesbian clients, and by outlining the differences in approaches taken by Freud, and, for example, Thomas Ross, the British psychotherapist and author of a number of influential works, including An Introduction to Analytical Psychotherapy, published in 1932.

For Ross and others like him, the homosexual had merely been 'diverted from the heterosexual path' (Ross, cited in Waters 1998: 170), and thus, in and through therapy, could be put back on the straight and narrow. The importance of this shift the understanding of the homosexual is, as Waters notes, that it consists of 'the construction of a new type of being... the refashion[ing] [of] the congenital invert as a treatable homosexual' (Ibid.: 170). And it is this figure that comes to loom large in the imaginations of post-war criminologists, legislators, and medical professionals, particularly in the USA. Not everyone agreed that homosexuality could, or should, be cured or that magistrates should have the power to sentence people to psychiatric treatment. For example, Edmund Glover, the British criminologist and founder of the Institute for Scientific Treatment of Delinquency (1932), argued that therapeutic intervention was, for the most part, unsuccessful, and that most of the psychological problems suffered by homosexuals were the result of their marginalisation and persecution. In fact, in 1957, in his testimony to the Wolfenden Committee on Homosexual Offences and Prostitution, Glover wrote, 'there is no answer to homosexuality save tolerance on the part of the intolerant anti-homosexual groups in the community' (cited in Waters 1998: 175).

Here's a new song I wrote called "Sad It Seems" It's not perfect, but what is? There are still some leveling issues to figure out and re-recording of the vocals but overall I like it
