Author Description

Connections Between Sexuality and Aggression is the only available comprehensive monograph on interrelations and interdependencies between agonistic and sexual behaviors. It integrates theory and research from biology, anthropology, neurophysiology, endocrinology, psychophysiology, and psychology. The exposition focuses on the mechanisms that govern the mutual influences between sexuality and aggression in behavior sequences and, especially, in admixtures of aggressive-sexual behaviors. The second edition of Connections brings the coverage of pertinent research up to date. It advances the exploration of aggressive-sexual behaviors by further integrating the research contributions from various disciplines, and by refining and unifying theory capable of explaining the behavioral phenomena under consideration.
