announcement and schedule of classes

By special arrangement with One, Inc., Los Angeles, six lectures and a concluding panel discussion program will be presented by the faculty of ONE INSTITUTE OF HOMOPHILE STUDIES, the Education Division of One, Inc., as the third event in the Mattachine Seminar Series for 1959-1960. These will be held in the Society's offices on 3rd floor, 693 Mission Street on Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons from Aug. 12 through Sept. 2 in accordance with the schedule which follows.

Advance registration is urged immediately. Fees for the course and for individual lectures are listed below. Attendance is open to any person over 21 years of age. Single lectures may be attended upon payment of the fee at the door.

A great deal of research and preparation for each topic has been undertaken by each of the three faculty members in charge. The se topics all represent a serious examination of significant material related to the orientation, adjustment and acceptance of the homophile in our adult society; however, many attitudes surrounding current moral standards will be questioned in the light of actual behavior practices past and present.

These lectures will be of particular benefit to persons in fields of sociology, psychology, mental health, correction, law enforcement, religion and law itself, as well as to anyone seeking a more rational understanding of homosexuality as opposed to the purely emotional

reaction.

SESSION I: Friday, Aug. 12

James Kepner, Instructor 8-10 P.M.: THE CAUSE OF SEX DEVIATION: A FRANK LOOK AT FREUD

Are homosexuals competent to evaluate psycho-analytic writings? How do Freud's theories affect the lives of homosexuals? What did Freud say about the cause of homosexuality? Did Freud consider homosexuality a perversion or a neurosis? Does this agree with what psychoanalysts say to day? How did Freud relate inversion to his general theory? Was Freud's approach scientific? Does his theory hold up?
