Details
All these and countless other psychosexual disorders are detailed in the 237 case histories that make up Richard von Krafft-Ebing's legendary Psychopathia Sexualis. Long unavailable, this landmark text in the study of sexual mania and deviation is presented in a new, modern translation highlighting the cases chosen by Kraft-Ebing to appear in the 12th and final edition of the book, the culmination of his life's work compiled shortly before his death.
An essential reference book for those interested in the development of medical and psychiatric diagnosis of sexual derangement, the Psychopathia Sexualis will also prove a fascinating document to anyone drawn to the darker side of human sexuality and behavior. Cases range from Jack the Ripper to the most obscure and extreme instances of perversion known to 19th century psychiatrists and criminologists.
