BUENOS
AIRES - The eminent Spanish psychiatrist Enrique Rojas
gave a speech yesterday in Buenos Aires declaring that
homosexuality is "a clinical process that has an
etiology, pathogeny, treatment, and cure". Speaking
at the Buenos Aires International Book Fair about his
book "Goodbye, Depression", Rojas characterized
homosexual orientation as a "disorder" rather
than an illness, and stated his opinion that 95% of
cases are caused by environmental factors, according
to the Spanish news service Terra.
The
disorder, according to Rojas, is the result of an absent
father, overweening mother, or sexual abuse in childhood.
Rojas
blasted the homosexual movement for promoting the development
of homosexual tendencies in young people, and particularly
condemned the practice of allowing homosexual couples
to adopt children. The child is deprived of a right
to grow up "in a normal environment, heterosexual,
which is the standard" he said. "Heterosexuality
is what is normal, the natural condition of human beings."
According to studies from the United States, Canada,
and New Zealand, there is a 70-80% chance that a child
adopted by homosexuals will develop the same tendencies,
Rojas said.
Rojas
is the author of various books on psychology, including
"Who Are You?", "The Light Man"
and "Remedies for Coldness".
