About this title

Synopsis

This XpressRead Cram Edition of Psychopathia Sexualis pairs the complete original text with carefully prepared study materials, designed for deeper engagement with this classic.

"Psychopathia Sexualis: With especial reference to contrary sexual instinct: a medico-legal study" by R. von Krafft-Ebing remains a landmark exploration of paraphilias and sexual psychology. This meticulously prepared edition preserves the historical importance of Krafft-Ebing's work, a medico-legal study delving into the complexities of sexual deviance and sexual perversion. A cornerstone of forensic psychology and criminology, the text examines various manifestations of what was then termed "contrary sexual instinct." Though language and understanding have evolved, "Psychopathia Sexualis" offers a crucial glimpse into the historical context of these conditions, providing essential insights for those studying clinical psychology, the history of law, and the social sciences. This edition makes accessible a pivotal work in the understanding of human sexuality.
