Describe how Irving Bieber explained homosexuality
What will be an ideal response?
Bieber and colleagues (1962) claimed that all boys had a normal, erotic attraction to women. However, some had overly close and possessive mothers who were also overintimate and sexually seductive. Their fathers, in contrast, were hostile or absent, and this drove the boy to the arms of his mother, who inhibited his normal masculine development. Bieber and his colleagues blamed homosexuality on a seductive mother who puts the fear of heterosexuality in her son.
