Thank you Dr. Louis W. Max

September 6. 1935

New York University professor Dr. Louis W Max tells a meeting of the American Psychological Association that he has successfully treated a "partially fetishistic" homosexual neurosis with electric shock therapy delivered at "intensities considerably higher than those usually employed on human subjects." Max's presentation is the first documented instance of aversion therapy used to "cure" homosexuality.
