Reviews

Rinder, Irwin D. "Women in Trouble by James Donner, The Sexual Side of Life by Don James, Tormented Women by Ed. McGoldick Jr., Crime Passion by Dr. Eugene B. Mozes, Sex and the Armed Services by Dr. L. T. Woodward, The Power of Marital Love by Don James." Sociological Quarterly 2.2 (1961): 138.

An ambivalent 1961 review of the Monarch Books Human Behavior series of paperbacks in an academic journal. The reviewer bemoans the "gratuitously jazzed up" case studies, and the cover designed to attract the "seekers of the lascivious". Nevertheless, he approved of the "trickle down" of information to the nonprofessional reader.

These are only a few of the men and women who case histories are explored in his book.
