Psychopathia sexualis

Book • 1894
Published in 1886, 'Psychopathia Sexualis' is one of the earliest and most influential texts on sexual pathology.

The book, written by Richard von Krafft-Ebing, combines Karl Heinrich Ulrichs' 'Urning' theory with Bénédict Morel's theory of social degeneration.

It introduces terms such as 'sadism' and 'masochism' and discusses a wide range of paraphilias.

The work had a significant impact on continental European forensic psychiatry in the early 20th century and is regarded as a landmark in the history of psychopathology.

It was initially intended for medical and legal practitioners but gained broader public attention due to its sexually explicit content.
