About the Author

Richard von Krafft-Ebing was director of the Feldhof Asylum near Graz, Austria, and from 1892 until shortly before his death on December 2, 1902, he was the head of the psychiatry department at the University of Vienna.

Reviews

First published in 1886, this ranks among the earliest titles to deal with sexual pathology. Krafft-Ebing, a doctor specializing in psychosexual afflictions, wrote this as a manual to assist other doctors treating those with the disorders. The book also found great popularity as an underground handbook for masochists, transvestites, and wackos of all types. With psychology having grown exponentially since its publication, this book now is more of a curiosity.

"Through [Krafft-Ebing's] hands, in consulting-room, clinic and law-court, passed a succession of the undersexed and the hypersexed, rapists, stranglers, rippers, stabbers, blood-sucking vampires and necrophiliacs, sadists who hurt their partners, masochists who thrilled at the sight of the whip, males in female clothes and females in male clothes, stuff-fetishists dominated by a shoe or handkerchief, lovers of fur and velvet, slaves of scatology, defilers of statues, despoilers of children and animals, frotteurs and voyeurs, renifleurs and stercoraires, pageists and exhibitionists, pedophiliacs and gerontophiliacs, satyriasists and nymphomaniacs, and again and again male-craving males and female-craving females, and the endless army of men who lusted after Woman in perverse ways, but had no desire for her vagina . . ." -- from the introduction by Victor Robinson, M.D.
