Fear, punishment anxiety and the Wolfenden Report

Berg, Charles, 1892-1957, author

2022

Overview

Originally published in 1959, the blurb read: 'Dr Berg has made a comprehensive survey of the Wolfenden Report in regard to homosexuality and illustrated his comments with extracts from case material. He points out that whereas public opinion has so far lagged behind the Committee's main recommendation, scientifically far from being an advance the report may be considered lamentably reactionary. He says; 'Perhaps this report is a good lesson in the futility of trying to unravel and assess psychological phenomena without first removing the obstacles to understanding their meaning'. The author deals with the subject in his usual forthright, witty and persuasive style, which is easily enjoyed by psychiatrist and layman alike.' This work is a re-issue originally published in 1959. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
