| It is neither possible nor ethical to speculate on the homosexual panic of an identifiable and troubled individual student to her peers. After World War II, the pop-psychological concepts and conditions of acting out, homosocial double bind, homosexual panic, and latent homosexuality were among the inoculative measures taken in against the breakdowns, ultimately, of war neurosis.
