A SCIENTIFIC, PSYCHOLOGICAL, HYGIENIC, and SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY
for the CULTURED CLASSES.
By AUGUST FOREL, M.D., Ph.D., LL.D.
Formerly Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the _Provincial Lunatic
Asylum, Zürich_. English adaptation by C. F. MARSHALL, M.D., F.R.C.S.
(London). With 23 Illustrations, 17 of which are printed in colours.
This book is the fruit of long experience and reflection. It has two
fundamental ideas――the study of nature, and the study of the psychology
of man in health and in disease.
“It is imperative that every man and woman shall know (1) the
complete facts of normal sexual life, i.e. the physical conditions of
reproduction; and (2) so much of sex pathology as is necessary in order
to avoid the many pitfalls existing round them. The highest praise we
can give Prof. Forel’s book is to say that it meets this need. It is
‘a scientific, psychological, hygienic, and sociological study’ of the
sexual question.”――_The New Age._
