Under "sexual deviation" the authors include hostile, destructive sexual behavior toward others (sadism) or accepted from others (masochism), of the same or opposite sex, and all socially unacceptable forms of overt behavior such as exhibitionism, voyeurism, fetishism, transvestism, homosexuality and bestiality. To understand the origin of these disorders, the two psychiatrists say, "the physician must face a disquieting but demonstrable fact: examples of all degrees of parental seduction of the child occur more commonly than it is comfortable to contemplate . . .

Angelo is not thinking of farm labors when he eyes the ladies tauntingly and husks: "You don't have...
