Shortcomings of the psychomedical research of John Money and co-workers into sex differences in behavior: Social and political implications

This article discusses recent psychomedical research and the underlying biological basis of theories which it uses to explain sex differences in behavior. We criticize the lack of consideration of sociological factors both in the experimental design and in the interpretation of the results in this research, with a focus on the studies of John Money and his co-workers. The social and political implications of this research are also discussed.
