Evelyn Hooker Age, Birthday, Zodiac Sign and Birth Chart

Evelyn Hooker (born Gentry) was a prominent American psychologist known for her 1957 study 'Adjustment Among Homosexual Males.' This groundbreaking research involved psychological tests on groups identifying as either homosexual or heterosexual, aimed at assessing mental health. Hooker's work challenged the notion of homosexuality as a mental disorder, demonstrating that there were no significant differences in mental adjustment between homosexual and heterosexual men. Her findings contributed significantly to the argument against the cultural bias of heterosexuality, paving the way for the removal of homosexuality from the American Psychiatric Association's diagnostic manual.
