Notes
Hinsie ignored the terms heterosociality and homosociality, introduced into medical psychology by Flügel (1927) “in an analogous sense to the well-known existing pair of ‘homosexual’ and ‘heterosexual’” (p. 147), or rather, Hinsie oddly redefined them in terms of “social relationship” rather than social orientedness (Hinsie & Shatzky, 1953, pp. 255, 258). Many developmentalists were using heterosexuality in the sense of heterosociality, incidentally: “the focus of [social] interest upon members of the opposite sex” (Garrison, 1934, p. 94).
I thank Dr. Ken Zucker for confirming that Money’s 1952 dissertation does not cite Hinsie.
Adler (1910) already discussed the developmental implications of psychische Zweigeschlechtlichkeit (rather than Bisexualität).
According to the reviewer, Volume 2 of Helene Deutsch’s The Psychology of Women (1945) “misses—as the psychoanalyst usually misses—the useful distinction between sex (a matter of anatomy, physiology and fervid behavior) and gender (the social estimation of the man-like or the masculine and of the woman-like or feminine). The blurring of this distinction, with its consequent exaggeration of mating and its episodes, is common among those depictions of the hominid which spring from an interest in the fortunes of the individual organism as a person, a patient, a case, an offender against society, or a psyche” (Damm, 1946, p. 311, emphasis in original).
