Description: Two fascinating, vintage titles from the 60's will ship free of charge via USPS Media Mail. See below for more information on these works. "Sexual Deviance" edited by John H. Gagnon and William Simon. Sexual deviance was traditionally seen within the framework of a society's definition of morality and sin; today it is being viewed from the vantage point of the society's definition of mental health and emotional disturbance. A typology of categories of sex deviance is suggested, using three variables: incidence or frequency, the level of invoked sanctions, and the existence of a specialized social structure that may arise out of the deviant behavior or may be necessary to support it. It is suggested that the deviant sub cultures do not attain their new adherents by recruitment, but rather by enlistment. Several shifts in the patterns of deviant behavior are noted. "The Abnormal Personality Through Literature" edited by Alan A. Stone and Sue Smart Stone. Excerpts from works by leading world authors illustrate the importance of literature in exploring the human personality and enabling laymen to understand the sociopsychological manifestations and effects of mental illness. "This book will attempt to present 'the outward forms' of abnormal personality utilizing the portraits drawn in literature. None of these portraits is as stereotyped as the ordinary case history presented to illustrate an abnormal personality. They are, however, closer to the reality of human nature, which resists oversimplified classification."
