London England, Mitchell Beazley, 1978. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Fair. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0855331445 Hardback The Institute for Sex Research was commissioned by the National Institute of Mental Health to conduct the most ambitious study of homosexuality ever attempted anywhere in the world. It involved lengthy face-to-face interviews with approximately 1,500 persons. Never before have so many people from every walk of life been so extensively interviewed. Never before have the sexual circumstances, the social lives and the psychological adjustment of homosexual men and women been so thoroughly explored. Never before has the range of life-styles present in the homosexual population emerged with such clarity. This comprehensive study examines in depth the dimensions of sexual experience, including sexual partnerships, sexual texhniques, and sexual problems; acceptance of homosexuality and social adjustment; and religion, politics, friendship and marriage among homosexual men and women. Small portions of the institute's finding have already been used as the basis for judicial decisions and for new position papers on the part of organizations such as the American Psychological Association. This monumental work will be as thoroughly read and widely quoted, and will have as great an impact as any of the best-known works in the field of human sexuality. Some wear and tear to D/J.
