It is the newest, most provocative work yet from John Money, a medical psychologist whose distinguished contributions to sex research have gained him an international reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoney leads the reader through a fascinating array of topics relating to differences between the sexes, from, as he says, \"making a baby to learning mathematics.\" Among his subjects are the behavior of the sexes as seen throughout history; irreducible, derivative, and arbitrary sex roles; how men and women differ in aggression and dominance, parenting, and in mathematical, verbal, and praxic reasoning; principles of erotic sexuality; the pathology of love; sexual taboos in Western culture; pornography; and, in an appendix, the treatment of sex offenders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing upon history, ethnology, psychology, sociology, and law, as well as physiology, endocrinology, embryology, genetics, and host of other fields, Money proposes a new basis for understanding sexual behavior. He rejects the older analytic devices of motivation theory and the dichotomies of mind\/body and nature\/nurture to offer instead a theory that acknowledges a number of variables contributing to individual and collective behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessionals and students in sex education, mental health, psychiatry, and clinical psychology, human biology, and counseling will find \u003ci\u003eLove and Love Sickness\u003c\/i\u003e, like all of John Money's work, necessary reading. It is also a book for the educated layperson, who will find it replete with insights into the realm of human sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Money\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of medical psychology, associate professor of pediatrics, and director of the Psycho-hormonal Research Unit at The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions.
