Gynaecologist William Howell Masters and psychologist Virginia
Eshelman Johnson pioneered research into the nature of human sexual
response and the diagnosis and treatment of sexual disorders and
dysfunctions from 1957 until the 1990s. This bookaexamines
theirainfluential scientific sex research and its groundbreaking
implications for sex therapy and the study of human sexuality.
Until now, these developments have been largely ignored in
sociology. The bookailluminates how Masters and Johnson have
constructed their apparently scientific ideas about sexual function
and dysfunction with reference to dominant Western discourses about
sexuality. In addition, the book will explore some of the wider
theoretical, conceptual and historical issues relating to the study
of human sexuality. These will include a critical evaluation of
conventional accounts of the history of the sociology of sex,
particularly in the United States, major theoretical frameworks
used in the study and understanding of human sexuality, and some of
the key concepts underpinning sex research and sex therapy. "
