What People Are The Psychology of Women. Vol. 2, Motherhood-By Helene Deutsch, M.D. New York: Grune & Stratton, 1945. 506 pp. Prce, $5.00. The psychology of women's emotional and sexual functioning has generally been conceded to present a greater complexity of problems than that of men, probably largely due to the facts, (1) that differences in the anatomical structure between the sexes tend to make a later or at least more variable development of awareness of the sexual organs in the girl than in the boy, and (2) that woman's sexual functioning is biologically so much more involved in procreation than is the case with man. In the past, also, most of the studies of women's emotional development have been made by men, and interpretations may have been somewhat shaped by this. The present volume, which is the second of a two volume study on the psychology of women by Dr. Deutsch, fills then a very special need: it is a comprehensive, detailed, and very rich study of the psychological aspects of motherhood, by an experienced, observant, and sympathetic woman. The approach is largely clinical and is everywhere colored by the author's work as a psychoanalyst.

The Psychology of Women. Vol. 2, Motherhood-By Helene Deutsch, M.D. New York: Grune & Stratton, 1945. 506 pp. Prce, $5.00. The psychology of women's emotional and sexual functioning has generally been conceded to present a greater complexity of problems than that of men, probably largely due to the facts, (1) that differences in the anatomical structure between the sexes tend to make a later or at least more variable development of awareness of the sexual organs in the girl than in the boy, and (2) that woman's sexual functioning is biologically so much more involved in procreation than is the case with man.
