In today’s society, the agonies of rape go beyond the fact of a woman’s violent ravagement. In many rape cases, there is as much mental anguish for the victim who seeks justice as there is physical suffering — the humiliation of a sordid police investigation, cold-hearted medical observations, and harsh legal procedures have made today’s […]

Most of us lead two lives — real and fantasy. The housewife imagines herself leading a life of luxury, surrounded by jewels and furs. The businessman imagines himself away from the rat race, painting or fishing by a quiet lake. The schoolboy dreams of becoming a famous athlete. And then there are sexual fantasies — […]

Outwardly, suburbia maintains the straitlaced middle-class look that belies the social ferment behind closed doors. There is the secret use of drugs, fed by the river of alcohol flooding from door to door under the euphemism of social drinking. Then, of course, inevitably there is the advent of wife-swapping.

A healthy family unit is the basis of the American way of life. Years ago, a person’s extended family played a big part in his life. Uncles, aunts, and grandparents often lived in the room and took on an advisory or supportive unit. We seem to be moving away from this type of situation today. […]

The relatively minor investigation into the conduct of one police officer results in the discovery of massive corruption within the force. A routine check by the government of a corporation’s finances turns up damning evidence of widespread […]

The subject of victim psychology has become an area of great interest in recent years, due mostly, perhaps to the widely publicized “conversion” of Patricia Hearst to the radical SLA.

The teenage girl searching for a “real man” to initiate her into the mysteries of sex — a theme as old as man. And in today’s “liberated” society, it could safely be assumed that an even larger percentage of young girls look toward older men to help get them over that first big step and […]

Immoral men capitalizing on the innocence of others to attain their goals — a story as old as man. The Bible, history books, law books — all contain examples. And when the innocent victim is young, the story is so much the sadder. The girl in this book is the victim of her unscrupulous boyfriend […]

A mother’s desire for her son is a subject as old as the world of literature, and its theme, incest, can be traced back to Sodom and Gomorrah, and Lot’s scheme to repopulate a supposedly desolate earth by sleeping with his daughters. The subject has been probed by Sophocles, and Freud defined the problem of […]
