PAPERBACK - The Sexual Paraphilias - Therapy by Hick-Farmer Sigmund Freud Wannabes is a concise introduction to human sexual aberrations. All of the major sexual deviations are listed, with their clinical names and descriptions. The author rails the psychiatry profession for their incompetent efforts to “cure” anomalous sexual behavior, particularly the behaviors which are criminal acts, such as rape and pedophilia. The author includes a most excellent analysis of domestic violence entitled “The Battered Spouse and The Abused Child”, based on the movie “Once Warriors”. Also included is “There IS a Way Out”, a treatise targeted to victims of domestic violence, and an essay titled “Restorative Justice” that addresses the problem of criminal rehabilitation and prison reform.
Extensively footnoted, and seriously humorous in places, this book sheds a whole new light on what America and the world engages in behind closed doors.

"Sexual Paraphilias" Y'know - this caught my attention right up front, and I looked at the sample text in the catalog you put up on your web site. I found it most intersting. You write with a unique sense of humor - the part about the cat... "... is the cat OFFENDED?" - You had me and my wife rolling on the floor laughing. A serious piece of work, with some parts done "toungue-in-cheek" - if there was ANOTHER "thumbs up", I'd make it 4 out of 4. Great Job!
