"Teenagers often complain that the explanation of sex in books and lectures, or even a frank talk with an older friend, leaves them feeling still in the dark, cheated. And they are right. For sex, as Dr. Spock explains, cannot be described by words or diagrams any more than music can. With extraordinary warmth and wisdom, Dr. Spock has written this very special book for young people to give them a complete understanding of what sex and love are in the human being." "Benjamin McLane Spock (May 2, 1903 – March 15, 1998) was an American pediatrician whose book Baby and Child Care, published in 1946, is one of the best-sellers of all time. The book's premise to mothers is that "you know more than you think you do." Spock was the first pediatrician to study psychoanalysis to try to understand children's needs and family dynamics. His ideas about childcare influenced several generations of parents to be more flexible and affectionate with their children, and to treat them as individuals. However, they were also widely criticized by colleagues for relying too heavily on anecdotal evidence rather than serious academic ". Very Good+ in Fine dust jacket .
