Delusional Psychologies of Circumcision and Civilization

Abstract

The author brings 48 years of clinical experience — half of it as a pioneer in birth psychology — to a critical analysis of the delusions of pediatricians, parents, and tribal practitioners of male and female genital cutting and the similar delusions of politicians, professionals, and parents about creating a “civilization” built on violence. In the end, the author looks to a critical mass of independent and humane parents who create loving families as the only real basis for any future civilization worthy of the name.
