Sex between body and mind : psychoanalysis and sexology in the German-speaking world, 1890s-1930s / Katie Sutton.

"Ideas about human sexuality and sexual development changed dramatically across the first half of the 20th century. As scholars such as Magus Hirschfeld, Iwan Bloch, Albert Moll, and Karen Horney in Berlin Sigmund Freud, Wilhelm Stekel, and Helene Deutsch in Vienna were recognised as leaders in their fields, the German-speaking world quickly became the international centre of medical-scientific sex research – and the birthplace of the two new and distinct professional disciplines sexology and psychoanalysis. This is the first book to closely examine vital encounters among this era’s German-speaking researchers across their emerging professional and disciplinary boundaries."--Provided by publisher.
