Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Very Good jacket. Size: 8vo-over 7.75"-9.75" tall; Black quarter bound 1st edition, first printing hardcover with sharp tips and bumped spine ends. Text clean & unmarked. Unclipped dj shows few micro closed tears, color loss at tips but displays well in new mylar. 198 pp. Szasz draws a most unflattering but embarrassingly accurate portrait of the scientists and pseudo-scientists who inhabit the world of sex education and therapy and who claim to be value-free scientists, when in fact they are value-laden moralists. Our sexuality-however it may be expressed-reveals and reflects who we are and who we want to be. In reality, there are no "sexual disorders" such as "premature ejaculation" or "frigidity" to be cured by "sex therapists"-there is only the never-ending task of having to develop and shape our own lives. We evade that task by handing the management of our sexual lives over to sex educators and sex therapists at great peril to our integrity-and our pocketbook. Arguing persuasively that a medical approach to sex fosters a view of sexual relationships that is not only dehumanized but fundamentally false, Dr. Szasz builds an invincible case against those who seek to use public funds to manipulate so private a concern as personal sexual behavior. Sex by Prescription is a healthy dose of skepticism to offset the hype and hypocrisy of the ubiquitous "experts' on sex.
