Mejia Frank Myers En g 1A July 5 th 2018 Green, Richard MD . "Gender Identity in childhood and later sexual orientation follow-up of 78 males" Am J Psychiatry. March 1985 . Richard Green is an American sexologist , psychiatrist , and author specializing in homosexuality, specifically gender identity disorder in children . Green is the founding editor of the Archives of Sexual Behavior in 1971, and served as Editor until 2001 in New York city . He is also the founding president of the International Academy of Sex Research 1975 , which made the its official publication. Richard Green M.D made a study in the year of 1985 with two groups of males that were evaluated on on sexual orientation identity in three sta ges initially boyhood and late adolescence lastly early adulthood. The group was composed of 66 boys that volunteered and 56 that clinically tested in for for sexual orientation prognosis. At the end of his prognosis he wanted to see how many of the boys who came in were gay and how many weren't but over time making visual observations for each boy and trying to come to a conclus ion of which boy might be gay without any interactions. D uring his observations he wanted to see how many boys might be gay by just observing them. And see if they did turn out gay by his observations he concluded that there was no real way o f telling do to the fact that every boy was nurtured differently their for making his observations inconclusive. While reading the article I found out that Richard Green was founding editor of Archives of Sexual Behavior in 1971, serving as Editor for 30 years. In 1974 Green and the board of the new journal established the International Academy of Sex Research , with Green as the founding president; the Archives became the official publication of the Academy which would have made him one of the most qualified authors . On my subject he left out any bias because he was one of the first activist for sexual orientation and came it the topic with an open mind . At first Richard green was aim ing this for doctors all over the world but then when he went public he wanted to reach out to the general public. How this adds to my research would be he has emphasis on the fact that no matter how much research you do that no one person is the same do the fact that every boy and girl is nurtured very differently and that affects the outcome in which the boy's mindset starts realizing their sexual orientation. The way I can compare this to my other ar ticles would go as follows Richard Green emphasis on the nature part of sexual orientation just like Elizabeth M Morgan on identity development.
