Psychopathia sexualis: With especial reference to contrary sexual instinct
3. Mr. v. H., in the legal sense of the word, is not irresponsible,
and neither fit for, or in need of, treatment in a hospital for the
insane. It is possible for him—though but an overgrown child, and
incapable of personal independence—to live in society, though under
the care and guidance of normal individuals. Too, to a certain extent,
it is possible for him to respect the laws and restrictions of
society, and to judge his own acts; but, with respect of possible
sexual errors and conflicts with criminal laws, it must be emphasized
that his sexual instinct is abnormal, having its origin in organic
pathological conditions; and this circumstance should eventually be
used in his favor. On account of his notorious lack of independence,
he cannot be discharged from parental care or guardianship, inasmuch
as otherwise he would be ruined financially.
