Download or read book Love and Love Sickness written by John Money and published by . This book was released on 1980-03 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, the study of sex roles, sexual behavior, and the differences between the sexes came under the aegis of such disciplines as psychiatry, sociology, or medicine. Love and Love Sickness lays the groundwork for an emerging, independent area of study, that of sexology. It is the newest, most provocative work yet from John Money, a medical psychologist whose distinguished contributions to sex research have gained him an international reputation. Money leads the reader through a fascinating array of topics relating to differences between the sexes, from, as he says, "making a baby to learning mathematics." Among his subjects are the behavior of the sexes as seen throughout history; irreducible, derivative, and arbitrary sex roles; how men and women differ in aggression and dominance, parenting, and in mathematical, verbal, and praxic reasoning ; principles of erotic sexuality; the pathology of love; sexual taboos in Western culture; pornography; and, in an appendix, the treatment of sex offenders. Drawing upon history, ethnology, psychology, sociology, and law, as well as physiology, endocrinology, embryology, genetics, and host of other fields, Money proposes a new basis for understanding sexual behavior. He rejects the older analytic devices of motivation theory and the dichotomies of mind/body and nature/nurture to offer instead a theory that acknowledges a number of variables contributing to individual and collective behavior. Professionals and students in sex education, mental health, psychiatry, and clinical psychology, human biology, and counseling will find Love and Love Sickness, like all of John Money's work, necessary reading. It is also a book for the educated layperson, who will find it replete with insights into the realm of human sexuality.

Download or read book Love Sick written by Frank Tallis and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, leading clinical psychologist, Dr Frank Tallis, explores our age-old preoccupation with love and in particular romantic love. Love is rarely described as a wholly pleasant experience and Tallis considers our experiences and descriptions of love and why the combinations of pleasure and pain, ecstasy and despair, rapture and grief have come to characterise what we mean when we speak about falling in love. Obsessive thoughts, erratic mood swings, insomnia, loss of appetite, recurrent and persistent images and impulses (irresistible urges to phone or text), superstitious or ritualistic compulsions (she loves me, she loves me not), inability to concentrate - so much so that it affects your work, delusion, (are his eyes really deep pools of oceanic azure?). Exhibiting just five or six of these symptoms is enough to merit a diagnosis of Major Depressive Episode, according to the recognized medical criteria. Drawing on the writings of poets, philosophers, songwriters, zoologists and scientists Tallis shows how throughout time - and particularly in the West, the metaphor of illness and specifically mental illness has been used to describe the state of being in love. And asks why it is that we continue to search out this kind of love, with the ecstasy seeming to blind us to the agony.

Download or read book Lovesickness in the Middle Ages written by Mary Frances Wack and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to medieval physicians, lovesickness was an illness of mind and body caused by sexual desire and the sight of beauty. The notorious agony of an unhappy lover was treated as an ailment closely related to melancholia and potentially fatal if not treated. In Lovesickness in the Middle Ages, Mary F. Wack uses newly discovered texts and takes a fresh look at primary sources to offer the first comprehensive analysis of the forms and meanings of the lover's malady in medieval culture. She examines its importance in medieval literature and its role in the transformation of courtly love from literary convention to social practice. Drawing extensively from the Viaticum and its commentaries, studied for centuries in medical schools, Wack also addresses wider questions about the cultural construction of illness, the conflict between medicine and Church morality, the relations between lovesickness and gender, and the lover's malady as a form of behavior in late medieval society. The second part of the book contains annotated editions and translations of six important texts on lovesickness—the Viaticum and four commentaries on it. Forty-six black-and-white illustrations provide a striking visual perspective on medieval love and medicine. Lovesickness in the Middle Ages will interest literary scholars and students as well as historians of medicine, sexuality, psychology, and women's studies.

Download or read book A Treatise on Lovesickness written by Jacques Ferrand and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1994-05-01 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in Toulouse in French in 1610, this translation of the 1623 edition of Ferrand's treatise, Of Lovesickness or Erotic Melancholy: A Scientific Discourse that teaches how to know the essence, causes, signs, and remedies of this disease of the fantasy, is a veritable summa on the topic of erotomania in the late Renaissance. As both a philosopher and a practicing physician, Ferrand saw his treatise as a medical book to help people, indeed to "cure" them of "the most frequent and most dangerous disease which threatens mortals of both sexes." In order to explore the nature and cure of the "disease," it was necessary for Ferrand to make frequent detours through chapters dealing with heredity, astrology, the interpretation of dreams, incubi and succubi, and love philters as they relate to the nature and diagnosis of erotic love. Ferrand takes up questions concerning the diseases of women, hysteria and satyriasis, real and putative sex changes, and the cures for sterility and impotence that can lead to marital breakdown. In fact, under the general heading of a history of lovesickness, one can actually find in Ferrand five related histories: medicine, mental health, psychiatry, feminine sexuality, and pharmacy—all of which he documents copiously from over three hundred authors, from classical sources to church fathers to naturalists. In their exhaustive analysis of nearly two thousand marginal references, the editors have identified and expanded Ferrand's sources, many of which are either little known or relatively inaccessible today. Their annotations and commentaries provide a goldmine of research materials for the specialist in medieval and Renaissance studies. Combined with Ferrand's text, this critical edition of a seventeenth-century masterpiece presents erotic melancholy as one of the received ideas of the Renaissance and examines its place in the history of thought.
