Friedman, MD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA remarkably original  classic .  The first book to integrate sexology with  psychoanalytic theory and practice. This book broke with traditional psychoanalytic thinking about homosexuality and provided a non-ideological scholarly rationale for viewing homosexuality and bisexuality as non-pathological.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished in 1988  it had a major impact on psychoanalytic thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A quantum leap in the evolution of psychoanalytic thought concerning male homosexuality.  This book is the only modern treatise to present the problems of male sexual orientation in the complexity these problems deserve.  The book should be required reading for all psychotherapists and for students of human sexual behavior and of psychoanalytic psychology.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—Michael Stone, MD,\u003cbr\u003eProfessor of Clinical Psychiatry\u003cbr\u003eCollege of Physicians and Surgeons\u003cbr\u003eColumbia University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Richard Friedman’s Classic Text Male Homosexuality (1988) represented a major integration of our present knowledge regarding the homosexualities, transcending the ideological controversies of the day in a scienfically grounded, balanced evaluation of the biological and psychodynamic features of these conditions” \u003cbr\u003e—Otto Kernberg, MD\u003cbr\u003eProfessor of Psychiatry\u003cbr\u003eWeill Cornell Medical School\u003cbr\u003ePast President, International Psychoanalytic Association. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In his ground-breaking book, Dr. Friedman provides the psychiatric profession with nothing less than a new model of male homosexuality--one that integrates recent findings in sexual biology, neuroscience, and developmental psychology with psychoanalytic concepts. A clinician, scholar, and psychoanalyst, Dr. Friedman takes a rigorous evidence-based approach to reveal the flaws and limitations of the traditional psychoanalytic model of male homosexuality. Friedman's tone is refreshingly open-minded, skeptical and curious. This book is a game-changer that should be read by anyone interested in understanding male human sexuality.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—Richard A. Friedman, M.D.\u003cbr\u003eProfessor of Clinical Psychiatry\u003cbr\u003eWeill Cornell Medical College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis eBook is not a new edition  of male homosexuality but rather an   e-version of the original.  The book therefore does not discuss the many developments that took place after 1988 when it was originally published.  Its interdisciplinary emphasis and clinical discussions are as relevant today, however, as when they were first written.  Male homosexuality remains  strikingly original and relevant today, and represents the best modern psychoanalytic thought about male sexual orientation.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"IPBooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084011815152,"sku":"2940148167662","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148167662_p0.jpg?v=1763698172","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148167662","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
