Introduction
The circumcision industry would like parents and the public to believe that circumcision is psychologically benign and has no effect on the patient, therefore the information provided to satisfy the requirements of informed consent typically excludes any discussion of the psychological trauma, injury, and effects of circumcision.
Some of the literature cited here will include certain articles of a psychological nature that appeared in medical journals.
