New York: Orgone Institute Press, 1945. First American Edition. Octavo (23.5cm); publisher's cloth in unclipped dust jacket; xxvii,[1],273pp. Jacket quite brittle and worn with numerous chips and losses to darkened spine with brief loss of text, cloth a bit spotted, rather extensive red pencil underlining to textblock--though free of ownership markings this was the author Maxwell Geismar's copy. A Good example in the rare jacket. The Austrian psychoanalyst's study of the "crisis of sexual morality," divided into two parts: "The Fiasco of Sexual Moralism" and "The Struggle for the 'New Life' in the Soviet Union," which charts the abolition of the nuclear family as well as providing a chapter on "Liberation of birth control and homosexuality, and subsequent inhibition." This is the first U.S. edition, including the prefaces of the second and third German editions.
