This fascinating work is a summing up of Dr. John Money's clinical
experience and research on the frontiers of human sexuality. Written in
response to the current lack of
a fully recognized science of sexology and full-service sexology
clinics, Money gives
professionals and lay persons alike the techniques for recognizing the
"unspeakable monsters" of sexual disease that lurk behind many physical
and mental problems. Money contends that sexually related diseases like
AIDS and sex crimes such as child abuse, rape, and serial murder will
continue to wreak havoc in society until we learn to deal scientifically
with the sometimes disturbing realities of sexuality.
Using case studies and well-known examples, the author proposes five
universal human needs and three categories of coping strategies where
major sexual problems find pathological camouflage to elude detection
and treatment, often until it's too late.
John Money is a giant in the field of sex research, whose numerous
contributions are considered by many to surpass the work of Kinsey and
Masters and Johnson.
