Exhibitionism represents a regression to an earlier, infantile stage of sexual development. The mental content, the psychologic mechanisms involved and the constituent factors that contribute to its expression, do not appear to be in any wise different from those found in other neuroses beyond the fact that the individual had been arrested at an earlier level of psychosexual development; a particular type of fore pleasure activity has displaced the normal adult activity and is symbolized by the exhibitionistic activity. -Treated as a neurosis, it responds to psychotherapy, particularly psychoanalysis.
