Publications[edit]
Goldman is the author of the book Circumcision: The Hidden Trauma[2] (1997), in which he discusses several aspects of American male circumcision, including infant development and response to circumcision, reasons in favor of circumcision, evidence of long-term psychological effects of circumcision, disruption of the mother-child relationship, and potential effects of circumcision on American society. The book's foreword is by Ashley Montagu.
Goldman is the author of Questioning Circumcision: A Jewish Perspective[3] (1998), which critically examines the ritual from a Jewish perspective.
