BISEXUALITY GONE AWRY—THE CHILD IS FATHER TO THE MAN

Albert J. Solnit M.D.1

1 Child Study Center and Department of Pediatrics Yale University 333 Cedar Street New Haven, Connecticut 06510

Pediatrics has persisted in retaining its interest in all children and in not limiting its concern to certain kinds of children or to one set of influential factors in the development of children. Although his biological training is crucial, the pediatrician, as a generalist, has a critical interest in psychological aspects of child development and in the social-economic conditions that have a bearing on child and family life.

Deisher, Eisner, and Sulzbacher's article, "The Young Male Prostitute" (page 936 in this issue), demonstrates the pediatrician's scientific and humanitarian concern about a group of homosexual boys. This study, an excellent model of exploratory social science research, touches upon an extreme outcome of childhood psychopathology, lesser degrees of which are more frequently seen in the pediatrician's office.
