Topic 6.7
How would Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory explain someone's homophobia?
He would attribute it solely to societal influence and upbringing.
According to him, homophobia arises from traumatic experiences with homosexuals during childhood.
He would argue there can be no psychological explanation for homophobia.
He might suggest it is a defense mechanism against their own repressed homosexual feelings.
