About this Item

xiii, 744 p.; 24 cm. Includes Bibliography (pp. 619-692) and indices (pp. 725-744). Black cloth hard cover with gilt lettering to spine shows some edgewear and minor aging, with light foxing to endpapers, but the textblock is pristine, with no noticed markings, creases, or other defects. Dust jacket is price-clipped and is slightly faded, with wear commensurate with age, including small tears, but is housed in a protective cover to prevent further wear. At times surprisingly lucid, but often (and even hilariously) incorrect, it should be noted that the material contained in this book is extremely dated. Be prepared to encounter such as gems as: "Absolute women homosexuals are more psychopathic than men" (p. 610). From the dust jacket: THE SEXUAL OFFENDER AND HIS OFFENSES represents the first major work on the descriptive and clinical aspects of sexual abnormalities since Krafft-Ebing's Psychopathia Sexualis. It goes far beyond any existing work in charting and establishing the background and clinical treatment of sexual deviation. It is the only study that thoroughly organizes and synthesizes the whole literature in the field. It is of inestimable practical value to Physicians, Psychiatrists, Psychoanalysts, Psychologists, Lawyers, Sociologists, Researchers, and all those professionals interested in acquiring a scientific orientation to the problem of Sexual Offenses. The author's findings, documented objectively in more than 300 meticulously reported Case-Studies, provide the first methodical basis for a practical program towards broader and more effective medical and legal operation in the area. THE SEXUAL OFFENDER AND HIS OFFENSES is the only comprehensive survey of all known phases of the most alarming?and least understood manifestations of Sexual Behavior. Dr. Karpman's findings, carefully correlated and tested during 33 years of clinical research, are clearly presented and effectively organized so that the reader is provided with the necessary framework of reference for an empiric knowledge of the various areas of Sexual Abnormality. FOR PROFESSIONAL SALE ONLY 744 pp. 1954 / 1963.
