Psychology of sex - Total No. of Records in System :: 2032

PREFACEA more elaborate but lucid and impartial expositionis Structureand Meaning of Psycho-Analysis by Healy, Bronner, andBowers. While Freud must be recognized as the master in thepsycho-analytic field there is no occasion to reject altogetherthose who have separatedthemselves from him to follow theirown paths. They all have hold of some aspect of the manysidedhuman psyche, and, while avoiding a too indiscriminatewhatever sound element each haseclecticism, we may acceptto give.The selected bibliographical data furnished at the end ofeach section, it will be remarked, are all English, so as to bewithin reach of the largest number of readers. Many importantworks are only to be found in other languages, especiallyGerman. The reader who is acquainted with those languageswill have no difficulty in finding, through the data herefurnished, such wider literature as he may require.I have to add that in the preparation of this manual I havemade some use of a chapter on "Sexual Problems, Their Nervousand Mental Relations," which I wrote some years ago forthe treatise on The Modern Treatment of Nervous and MentalDisease, edited by Dr. William A. White and Dr. SmithEly Jelliffe, and published by Lea & Febiger. I am obligedto the editors and publishers for permission thus to use thischapter. I have also made use of my contribution on thepsychology of the normal sexual impulse to Dr. Albert Moll'sHandbuch der Sexualwissenschaften, and that on psychopathicsexuality to Dr. A. Marie's Traite International dePsychologie Patkologique. It is only necessary to remark inconclusion that Sexual Psychology as here understood meansthe psychology of the sexual impulse and not the differentialpsychology of the two sexes, which is dealt with fully in mybook, Man and Woman.HAVELOCK ELLIS
