Dr. Neustatter, a psychiatrist, challenges the foregoing writers (implicitly) in his second sentence: "Much of the (prejudice) is founded on ignorance and misconceptions, as the belief that homosexuality is simply a form of vice which could be controlled at will." In a clear and competent survey of medical and psychiatric theories on the cause and care of various grades of homosexuality, he points up the basic disagreements running throughout the arguments by authorities, generally discredits most of the "cure" claims and criticizes the legal sanctions against "consenting adults." He emphasizes also that acts with children, while serious, seldom

turn them into active homosexuals unless strong predisposition existed.

I must now bend over double and insist that, poor as this book may be for the casual reader, it is a valuable reference work. Any student who can't obtain Dr. Bailey's volume or the British Medical Association report, can find an adequate substitute in the Bailey and Neustatter chapters here. And Dr. Hammelmann's very competent survey of the law in Western Europe, including estimates of the comparitive degree of enforcement, is not to my knowledge duplicated in any other

publication.
