Publications

Goldman is the author of the book Circumcision: The Hidden Trauma[2] (1997), in which he discusses several aspects of male circumcision, including infant development and his theory of the long-term psychological effects of circumcision. The book's foreword is by Ashley Montagu, who established the Ashley Montagu Resolution to End the Genital Mutilation of Children Worldwide.

Goldman is also the author of Questioning Circumcision: A Jewish Perspective[3] (1998), which pays special attention to contemporary concerns of the Jewish community.

His more recent publications include Circumcision policy: A psychosocial perspective[4] (Paediatrics & Child Health 2004), in which he argues that "medical organizations should be aware of the potential legal implications associated with a flawed policy".

Personal views

In Men's Health Magazine (no longer online but reprinted on noharm.org), he remarks that "Circumcision removes one-third to one-half of the skin on the penile shaft. The average circumcision cuts off what would grow into about 30 square centimetres of sexually sensitive skin."[5]

Goldman was interviewed by the Baltimore Jewish Times (1997), where he says "Circumcision is overwhelmingly painful and traumatic".[6]
