Psychopathia Sexualis is a medico-legal study in essay form by Richard von Krafft-Ebing, based on clinical case histories. It examines sexual pathology and what the author called 'contrary sexual instinct,' from psychiatric and legal perspectives. It is worth listening to as a historical document of early sexology and its era's attitudes.
