These villages were organized around employment in various branches of farming and also offered recreational and cultural activities to alleviate the patients' loneliness and to create a community life.

This helps to clarify some of the confusions at the centre of the still heated debate about sexuality and gender identity today. In the concluding discussion, the philosophical resource of critical realism is used to interpret the historical narrative provided. It cautions against the anachronistic tendency to amalgamate the short-lived, and now defunct, experiment of aversion therapy for homosexuality with more recent defences of exploratory psychotherapy.
