ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the social and cultural implications of psychoanalysis. The data of anthropology provide a vast source of information concerning the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of different types of social patterning. The social change was responsible for the emotional attitude. This in turn was a reaction to the creation of new opportunities for self-expression. Values are most likely expressions of the structure of the personality as it is integrated in a given social patterning. Like the anthropologists and sociologists, the historians refuse to have any traffic with psychology. The increase in male homosexuality is therefore like the increase in schizophrenia: it arises from an increase in the general hardship of adaptation and confusing or inconsistent cultural directives and restrictions. The schizotypal failure is irrespective of intelligence, and great intellects have been harnessed to schizotypal assumptions and modes of thinking.
