The psychological injury of male circumcision has been fairly well explored in recent years, but comparatively little has been done to document the effects on society when nearly all men have suffered child circumcision.
James W. Prescott (1975) believed that circumcision caused sensory deprivation and loss of body pleasure, which he claimed results in high levels of violence.[1]
The late psychohistorian Lloyd deMause (1996) identified early trauma, of which infant circumcision is a prominent example, as a cause of "war and social violence".[2]
Psychologist Ronald Goldman, (2007) devoted an entire chapter to "the impact of circumcision upon American society" in his landmark book, Circumcision, the Hidden Trauma.
