Sex and Society

First published in 1968, Sex and Society presents and analyses the code of sexual behaviour based on the universal use of contraceptive methods. It includes discussion of all forms of sexual activity, and emphasises in particular the attitudes that should be adopted in sex education. Backed up by case histories, and including details of reforms in abortion and homosexual law, this book sheds light on a topic which continues to cause concern in modern times. The author had been in active contact with all kinds of sexual problems for over thirty years in her professional clinic practice, and in her travels in India, Poland and Denmark teaching contraceptive techniques to doctors and nurses. Her experience as a Founder Member of the International Planned Parenthood Federation and participation in all the International and Regional Conferences gave her a very wide knowledge of sexual and social problems throughout the world. This book will be of interest to students of medicine, sexuality studies, psychology, gender studies, and health.
