Contrary to certain psychoanalytic interpretations, Freud himself generally resisted the possibility or desirability of sexual reorientation therapy. Yet his understanding of the origins and nature of homoeroticism does not suggest that conversion therapy is impossible. Although he did not believe homoeroticism to be an inherent impediment to human accomplishment and fulfillment neither did he see it as having the full value of heteroeroticism. For these reasons he did not altogether rule out the desirability or possibility of conversion therapy for some individuals even if he did not believe that it could be psychoanalysis alone that could redirect sexual orientation
