Circumcision: The Hidden Trauma

How an American Cultural Practice
Affects Infants and Ultimately Us All

by Ronald Goldman, Ph.D

Foreword by Ashley Montagu, Ph.D.


I welcome Ronald Goldman's beautiful and powerful book on circumcision. It is the most enlightening and dependable examination of a most important aspect of human life. I hope it will be widely read.
Ashley Montagu, PhD, anthropologist and author

I always knew that circumcision was a procedure with roots at a level much deeper than that of a mere medical procedure. Finally, Ronald Goldman has written a courageous book that makes the strongest possible case for abandoning circumcision once and for all---for the health of all of us, men and women alike.
Christiane Northrup, MD, obstetrician, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

This pioneering work is of riveting interest to all who have ever wondered about circumcision or who are looking for clues to explain certain male feelings, attitudes, and behaviors.
Myron Sharaf, PhD, lecturer and author, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

Impressive and moving.
Sheila Kitzinger, social anthropologist and childbirth educator, author of The Complete Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth
