ABSTRACT
Unlike psychoanalysis (XVII.C), modern psychology gener ally eschews grand theories of sexual orientation and behavior, preferring to concentrate of testable assertions regarding specific aspects. For this reason there is little in the way of synthesis to guide the neophyte. In compensation for this lack, the control of current progress in research is facilitated through the monthly issues of Psychological Abstracts (1927-), in which each paper cited is accompanied by a resume. (In addition to thorough coverage of English-language work, PA offers some material on research in other languages.)
