Sex & Gender
Robert J. Stoller, M.D.
First Edition, 1968 | Hardcover with Dust Jacket
Sex & Gender is a foundational and controversial work in the history of psychiatry and gender studies, written by psychoanalyst Robert J. Stoller. First published in 1968, this book is one of the earliest clinical texts to formally distinguish biological sex from gender identity, drawing on case studies, psychoanalytic theory, and medical literature of the mid-20th century.
This is a first edition hardcover with its original dust jacket, featuring the striking inkblot-style cover design. The book includes extensive acknowledgements detailing prior journal publications of individual chapters, reflecting its role as a serious academic work rather than a popular treatment.
Important historical note: this text reflects the medical and cultural frameworks of its time. It is significant for research and archival purposes, not as a modern clinical guide.
