A First Person History of Pediatric Psychoendocrinology

More about the book

Focusing on pediatric psychoendocrinology, this book revisits John Money's research on various psychoendocrine syndromes, particularly intersexuality and hermaphroditism. He explores the complexities of sex, gender, and sexual orientation, introducing his concept of the 'lovemap' to describe individual sexual experiences. Money concludes that demasculinization does not equate to feminization, nor does defeminization equal masculinization. This volume not only reflects on the evolution of his work but also paves the way for future research in the field.
