John Money Bücher

Focusing on pediatric psychoendocrinology, this book revisits John Money's research on various psychoendocrine syndromes, particularly intersexuality and hermaphroditism. He explores the complexities of sex, gender, and sexual orientation, introducing his concept of the 'lovemap' to describe individual sexual experiences. Money concludes that demasculinization does not equate to feminization, nor does defeminization equal masculinization. This volume not only reflects on the evolution of his work but also paves the way for future research in the field.

When William Wilberforce Taylor, fifty-something, Cambridge University educated, with a mountain-high IQ and clueless, meets Franklin Richardson, sixteen and unaware of just how sharp-minded he can be but a much-bullied runaway, it should have been chalk meets cheese, dog meets cat – or more appropriately, white meets black, since those are their skin colours. The latter, at least, is true – but they share a common issue as they both have very serious problems in their lives. Fuelled by a mutual lack of trust but knowing the other can assist them, they reluctantly team up – and run.

Exploring the multifaceted nature of human sexuality, this collection features twenty-nine essays by John Money, a pivotal figure in the field. The work delves into sexology and sexosophy, addressing topics such as sexual identity, gender roles, and eroticism. It also examines historical and religious perspectives on sexuality, Freud's theories, paraphilia, and contemporary issues like sex reassignment and body image. Each essay offers insights into the biological, psychological, and cultural dimensions of sexuality, making it a comprehensive resource for understanding this complex subject.
