Pornography, the Law and Mental Health

Extract
In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in pornography, particularly in Great Britain and the U.S.A. There have been many more publications on the subject, as well as various surveys and enquiries; some of these have been officially sponsored. Well-publicized prosecutions have helped to keep the topic in the public eye, but at the same time have drawn attention to uncertainties and ambiguities in present-day legislation (Tribe, 1973). Underlying all this is a continuing concern about the possible harmful effects of pornography, its implications for mental health and the need for more research and informed psychological guidance.
