Sexual Accusations and Social Turmoil: What Can Be Done - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A world-famous psychiatrist, former president of the American Psychiatric Association, is falsely accused by a former patient. He describes his nine year ordeal and presents an overview of the sexual crisis in our time. Jules masserman, m.d. with contributions by Christine McGuire Masserman

The author was sued by a patient for a sexual assault. Thorough medical, laboratory and police investigations proved the allegations false, but the attendant publicity initiated a decade of legal, professional and social stresses for the author and his wife Christine, a renowned educator who describes the couples ordeal and discusses measures that would be helpful to others similarly traumatized in this time of sexual witchhunts.

Sexual Accusations and Social Turmoil also elaborates a background theme: our erotically obsessed society which, as in medieval times, seeks individuals on whom to project its guilts. In illuminating perspectives topical chapters trace the origin, biologic basis, and evolution of sexuality, its relationship to other fundamental human emotions and its historical, cultural and religious expressions. Of special concern is the explosion of malpractice suits, recovered memories and the serious social problems related to current associations of eroticism and violence.

The book offers specific recommendations for improving the sexual education of our youth, cultural reorientations, and proposed juristic reforms.
