Excellent, unbiased research into the effect of nudity,
By A Customer
This review is from: Therapy, Nudity & Joy: The Therapeutic Use of Nudity Through the Ages from Ancient Ritual to Modern Psychology (Hardcover)
Goodson delivers an excellent, unbiased review of the role that nudity plays in our lives. She refutes the widely held beliefs, and sheds some light on why people chose nudity. Unlike Dr. Joyce Brothers comments about nudity, Goodson's statements are based on research. Even the mental health community in the U.S. fears tackling the subject due to American religious taboos, but Goodson, in a well written manner, exposes our true reactions to nudity from ancient times, in developing cultures, and in the modern era. For example, what constitutes nudity, driving embarrassment, differs by culture. She also shows the role that nudity plays in therapeutic healing, and maintaining a joyous perspective. This book is a very good read, and a must for anyone curious about legitimate reactions under the clothing. But be careful, you may find yourself seeking a naturist/nudist resort after reading this book.
