This work presents the interaction of physiological and psychological factors in the sexual function of women. It covers: the theory of the sexual instinct, developmental factors, the sexual cycle, orgasm and frigidity, and the procreative function. Every phase involves a shifting and reorganization of psychic structures. The giving and expansive attitudes needed for the procreative period become outweighed step by step by the restricting, self-centered tendencies characteristic of old age. (68 pp.)

The Psychobiology of Parenthood
The pleasure and pains, the gratifications and frustrations of parenthood are essential components in adult life. Each parent has to deal in his own way with the positive as well as the negative revelations of himself in the child. Confidence in oneself and the child enables the parent not to overemphasize the positive and not be overwhelmed by the negative aspects of the self as it is exposed through the child. (44 pp.)
