Overview

Excerpt from The Sexual Instinct and Its Morbid Manifestations From the Double Standpoint of Jurisprudence and Psychiatry In the present work I sketch in broad outline those facts and observations which inspired me with the idea of making enquiry into the causes of sexual perversion, - and this not merely under the influence of depravity and Iicentious excess; preferably, in fact I may say chiefly, I examine these causes as connected with a morbid condition of the organism, whether congenital or acquired. Above all I make it my business to throw all the light possible on the part played by heredity and by the phaenomena of arrested development, as well as by the various morbid causes conditioning the etiology of sexual perversions, and to differentiate these with the very utmost clearness from proved depravity of character - conscious and premeditated vice.
