This is hotly contested territory, not least where sexual violence is concerned - violence which feminist voices argue is related to power rather than sex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePerverse Psychology examines psychiatric constructions of sexual violence and transgender people from the 19th century until the latest DSM-5 diagnoses. It uses discourse analysis to interrogate the discursive boundaries between 'normal' and 'abnormal' rape, as well as the pathologization of gender and sexual diversity. The book illuminates for the first time the parallels between psychiatry's construction of gender diversity and sexual violence, and leads us to question whether it is violence that the profession finds so intriguing, or the gender nonconformity it represents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePerverse Psychology is ideal reading for postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of critical psychology, discourse analysis, feminism, transgender people, LGBT psychology, and the history of psychiatry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jem Tosh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848721722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848721722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.60w x 0.60d","brand":"Jem Tosh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136919744767,"sku":"9781848721722","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95c64427-b498-4aa6-98e7-19281cd68f2d.jpg?v=1770165330","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perverse-psychology-jem-tosh-9781848721722","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
