homosexual panic
Homosexual panic is a term coined by psychiatrist Edward J. Kempf in 1920 for a condition of "panic due to the pressure of uncontrollable perverse sexual cravings". Kempf classified this condition as an acute pernicious dissociative disorder, meaning that it involved a disruption in typical perception and memory functions of an individual. In the psychiatrist's honour, the condition has come to also be known in the as "Kempf's disease".
==History==
Kempf identified the condition after completing 19 case studies during and after World War I at St Elizabeths Hospital, a government mental institution in Washington, D.c.. The case studies lasted months in some cases, and consisted of extensive unstructured patient interviews. Kempf would, over the course of multiple sessions, investigate the personal history of the patient and the events that led up to hospitalization in order to diagnose them with homosexual panic.〔 Among the cases described by Kempf is a "physician ... who later became a brilliant philologist",〔 born in Ceylon in 1834 to missionary parents and graduated from Yale Medical School before serving as an army surgeon〔 - an apparent reference to William Chester Minor.
The disorder was included in Appendix C of the DSM-I as a supplementary term, which are terms that may be added on to an existing diagnosis to further explain the patient's condition. In order for mental health professionals to apply a diagnosis to a patient, the diagnosis must appear in the current edition of the DSM.〔 The disorder has not appeared in any subsequent editions of the DSM, and thus is not considered a diagnosable condition.
