Contributions to sex research

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The articles on sex research that have been published since 1952 are the longest-lived and, with 100 volumes (as of 2012), the most extensive sex science textbook series in the world. They are edited by Hertha Richter-Appelt , Sophinette Becker , Andreas Hill and Martin Dannecker on behalf of the German Society for Sexual Research .

history

From 1952 to 1970, the psychiatrist Hans Bürger-Prinz and the sexologist Hans Giese edited volumes 1 to 49. From volume 47 on, in which the later psychoanalyst Christa Rohde-Dachser analyzed sexual education at the time using the example of small Catholic scripts, Volkmar Sigusch and Gunter Schmidt took over the series as the responsible editors. This came about after internal disputes about the then in Volume 46 by Hans Orthner et al. propagated "healing method" of surgical-stereotactic brain intervention in the case of sexual deviations. Sigusch and Schmidt released the old scientific advisory board, to which, for example, the theologians Franz Xaver Arnold and Adolf Köberle , the public prosecutor Karl S. Bader and the sociologist Helmut Schelsky had belonged, and thus heralded the beginning of a critical sexology. After Giese's death in 1970, Gunter Schmidt, Eberhard Schorsch and Volkmar Sigusch published the book series from volume 50 onwards . In 1981, from volume 58, Martin Dannecker joined as editor.

Since volume 67 of 1993, Bürger-Prinz and Giese are no longer named as the founders of the series after historical research had shown that Bürger-Prinz was involved as a psychiatrist in the Nazi extermination policy (for details see Dannecker, Schmidt and Sigusch 1993).

The articles on sex research were published by Ferdinand Enke Verlag, Stuttgart, up to the year 2000 (cf. the list in Sigusch 2001). After it was absorbed by Georg Thieme Verlag, the board of directors of the specialist society and the editors decided in favor of Psychosozial-Verlag, Giessen.

Content

Today, the contributions are a special kind of contemporary document. The development of German-language sexology after the Second World War can be read from them - from faded theories and amateur therapies (see the first criticism in the Reiche series 1970) to liberal and critical, empirically based Theories and therapies verified by larger research projects (see on the history of sexology Sigusch 2008).

The seminal treatises that have appeared in the articles on sexual research include:

  • "The survey in the intimate sphere" by Ludwig von Friedeburg (1953), a study with which the empirically based sex science starts again after the war;
  • "Criminal legislation and protection of legal interests in moral offenses" by Herbert Jäger (1957), the first treatise in which the state criminal claim on the one hand and moral and sexual behavior on the other hand are convincingly separated so that law and morality no longer coincide and the maxim "no criminal law norm without protection of legal interests and in case of doubt no criminal liability ”applies;
  • "Excitation and orgasm in women" by Volkmar Sigusch (1970), the first treatise in which, before the women's movement, the devastating superstition of many medical professionals and psychoanalysts about the supposedly immature clitoral and supposedly mature vaginal orgasm based on the latest experimental sex-physiological research results, which led to genital mutilation is refuted;
  • “Jugendsexualität” by Volkmar Sigusch and Gunter Schmidt (1973), the first empirical study carried out in the field in 1970 after the Second World War in the Federal Republic of Germany, which Gunter Schmidt (1993) repeated 20 years later and published as volume 69 in the series ;
  • "Sexuality in Social Change" by Ulrich Clement (1986), an empirical comparative study on students, based on data from 1966 and 1981;
  • "Perversion, Love, Violence" (1993) by Eberhard Schorsch , a collection of essays on psychopathology and social psychology that Gunter Schmidt and Volkmar Sigusch published after Schorsch's death in 1991;
  • “Female ejaculation” (1994 and 2004) by Sabine zur Nieden with the subtitle “Variations on an ancient dispute between the sexes”;
  • "Heterosexual Relationships" (1995 and 2000), edited by Sonja Düring and Margret Hauch , with contributions by well-known researchers on the situation of so-called normal sexuality;
  • “Children of the Sexual Revolution” (2000), edited by Gunter Schmidt, in which the continuity and change in student sexuality are analyzed on the basis of empirical studies;
  • “The Reality of Transsexual Men” (2002) by Jannik Brauckmann, a study on becoming a man and the heterosexual partnerships of woman-to-man transsexuals;
  • “Sexuelle Welten” (2005) by Volkmar Sigusch, a collection of essays that illustrate the level of reflection in critical sexology;
  • “Lust-Full Pain” (2008), edited by Andreas Hill, Peer Briken and Wolfgang Berner, a conference volume in which the current neosexual perspectives of sadomasochism are discussed.
