He got a PhD in psycology at the University of Amsterdam[2] with a dissertation published in 1967 under the title "Homophilia, neurosis and compulsive self-pity".[3] It was the Netherlands' first dissertation on homosexuality.[4] Van den Aardweg rejects the idea that homosexuality is a biologically innate trait.[5] Instead, he calls homosexuality (an expression of) "a disease of infantile self pity."[6]

Van den Aardweg promotes opinions that the Irish Times describes as conspiracy theories, including that the Nazi Party was "rooted" in homosexuals, and that homosexuality is being imposed on the world by wealthy organizations.[5][7][8]
