38. It is estimated that in 1956, 48 million prescriptions for tranquilizers<br />
were filled in the United States at a cost of approximately $200 million.<br />
39. It is perhaps no accident that the late Professor Kinsey originally was<br />
an entomologist, studying insect societies. K. Menninger, "One View of<br />
the Kinsey Report" (GP} VIII [December, 1953], 67-72), justly notes<br />
"Kinsey's compulsion to force human sexual behavior into a zoological<br />
frame of reference." As stated by Menninger, from this he derives the<br />
identification of the "normal" with the "statistically frequent." The<br />
"Volunteer Error in the Kinsey Study," tested by A. H. Maslow <strong>and</strong><br />
J. M. Sakoda, Journal of Abnormal <strong>and</strong> Social Psychology} XLVII, 259<br />
262, probably is responsible for the difference between the clinicians'<br />
experience <strong>and</strong> the Kinsey data as stated by Menninger.
