Reviews

'Mr J. Wakefield's philosophical training seemed to me very solid, it enables him to reflect upon the methodological framework of his research, and to control its conceptualization. Moreover, Mr J. Wakefield has a vast and thorough knowledge of the medical and philosophical thinking on sexuality. He enjoys a good command of the classic works on this topic, and he is really knowledgeable about contemporary research. His analytic capacities and his excellent ability to articulate his ideas make him a truly talented researcher.' Michel Foucault, from a translated letter of reference written for the author on January 15th 1984.
