This article will explore how paternal deprivation may affect the development of homosexual desires in male individuals. As a starting point, the author considers, two aspects of attachment theory and subsequently discusses how gestalt therapy theory can be used to identify those moments of interruption of the cycle of contact that might be caused by paternal deprivation. The article ends with a clinical vignette.
Keywords: Homosexuality, paternal deprivation, homosexual relationships, sexual dysfunctions, internalised homophobia, attachment theory
