JIMENEZ DIAZ, RAFAEL. The origin of sexual deviations and not accepted homosexuality: The Tension Mechanism Model. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.1, pp.146-158. ISSN 1794-4724.

Across the development of Tension Mechanism Model, based on Experiential Avoidance (Hayes, Wilson, Gifford, Follette & Stroshal, 1996) and Conductual Finished Theory proposed by McConaghy (1980), the present article tries to expose a sequence of phenomenons that may be unnoticed when origin and maintenance of sexual deviations and not accepted homosexuality are explained. For this, we use the analysis of testimony from paraphilic and homosexual (that not accepted their homosexuality) persons registered between 2005 and 2006. From a contextual psychology perspective and making use of functional and topographic analysis, we will observe like both have a common aspects (precursor, precipitant and maintenance factors) on their origin and evolution.

Keywords : evitance; homosexuality; sexual deviations; paradox; tension; compulsion; functional; topographic.
