Product Description

Review

"This book is an excellent overview of all aspects of sexual deviations. Its contributors are the foremost clinicians and researchers in the field, who do an excellent job of covering theory, research, and clinical applications. This book is enjoyable reading and should be on the desk--not the shelf--of all serious researchers and clinicians who work with sexual deviants. In my opinion, it is the best and most comprehensive book published on this topic to date." --Henry E. Adams, PhD, Research Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Georgia, Athens

4.0 out of 5 stars Scholarly, thorough, but easy to read., 3 Jan 1999

By A Customer

It is difficult to find books about human sexuality which are both solidly scientific and easy to read. This one is both. Its contents follow a consistent pattern for each diagnostic entity and these stick as closely as possible to DSM-IV (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, American Psychiatric Association). Thus, each entity is introduced by descriptive considerations (diagnostic criteria, age of onset, etc.), epidemological factors (prevalence, incidence, risk), associated features, forensic issues, review of theories of etiology, and assessment of future directions.

The material covered is ample and includes most of the specific sexual deviances in the literature. Each chapter is followed by an extensive, recent bibliography. This is a text book and also a fine reference for people in mental health, law enforcement, and any profession involved with issues of human sexuality and it many ramifications.

It is not recommended for those who seek to indulge their prurient interests. A scholarly tone is maintained throughout the book, and it imparts its information in a straightforward and highly legible form. It does not attempt to obscure facts with unintelligible language.It navigates with a steady hand the treacherous waters that lie between prudery and prurience.
