    Opinions from Medical Journals “An exhaustive study of abnormal behavior in the field of sex. As a psy¬ chological study it is undoubtedly one of the supreme contributions to the subject. . . . This book can be highly recommended to the criminologist, the sociologist and the social worker as well as to the physician.”—Urologic and Cutaneous Review. “A textbook for those whose professional duties render a knowledge of sexual pathology necessary. It represents the life work of this distinguished authority.”—Ohio State Aiedical Journal. “As a reference book for students, psychologists, criminologists, probation officers, judges, and educationists, it may be recommended.”—Quarterly Re¬ view of Biology. “A knowledge of Hirschfeld’s work is obviously an asset to the practice of medicine. . . . Each chapter is full of valuable information which we did not learn in medical school. In fact, I do not know of any other volume which has as much to contribute in the field of sexual disorders as that of Hirsch- feld.”—Connecticut State Medical Journal. “It is largely the duty of the medical fraternity to explain, and if possible find out the causes of such abnormalities. . . . This book is well written, easily understandable, and can be recommended.”—Northwest Medicine.
