Sexology in Hungary

Sexology, as a science of sexual behavior and relations can assume an important role in Hungary, too in the life of persons and communities, though it was neglected till now by the competent offices, apart from several keen specialists.

This homepage describes mainly the life-work of the first Hungarian professional sex Psychologist and through this outlines

the home situation and possibilities of sexology in Hungary

Namely dr. Vilmos Szilagyi as Master and university doctor in the psychology of sexuality has written till now 26 special books and several hundred articles and studies, mostly about sexual problems and relations. As  Editor he started the book series “Psychology for Educators”. Later he has organised the first Hungarian Conference for Sexology (as the secretary of a workshop for sexology). He guided several training courses in sex therapy for physicians and psychologists. Since 35 years he is counselor and therapist in cases of sexual and marital problems.

He has established in 1998 the Foundation for private life’s culture and life guidance, which has a curatorium (the members of which, outer dr. Szilagyi are: dr. Bela Buda psychiatrist, dr. Imre Aszodi gynecologist, Tamas Molnar clinical psychologist and Eva Aliz Banyai addictologist) .

The Foundation has the following goals:

  1. Making understand the significance of private life’s culture and of life guidance, and build these in the system of public education.
  2. Distinguished developing  such fields of private life, as the intime partnerships (love, marriage, family life). For the sake of this the youth and adults have to be prepared for the successful matefinding, through the development of their self-knowledge, insight into characters and obtaining a psychosexual maturity.
  3. Inspiring the concerned people to realise the above goals with appointments for competition and exchange of views.
  4. For the sake of distributing the culture of sexuality, the first Hungarian scientific and popular journal of sexology shell be edited.

 The last point of these goals was realised: between 1998 and 2002. There was published a quarterly, titled as Magyar Szexológiai Szemle (Hungarian Review of Sexology). The first 4 Volume of this is published in the form of booklets. Though it has had already a homepage, this incorporated only the list of contents and an article from each issue. However  2 issues of 2002 are entirely available in this homepage.

The earlier issues could be ordered and acquired (just for 1600.- Forint (= 6 Euro) per Volume) by the Editor, dr. V. Szilagyi, who’s address is: Kiscelli u. 8. Budapest (code: 1032), Tel: (36—1) 3889-600. E-mail: szilmos@t-online.hu

Since 2004 our Foundation edited the  "Special books for safeguarding  sexual  health". Till now five new books are published:

    1. Dokuments in Sexology. (Works of  E.J. Haeberle)

    2. Fundamentals of Sexual Therapy.  (2  E-learning Courses)

    3. Sexuality Education in the Schools of Germany

    4. Textbook of Sexual Psychology  (from  V. Szilágyi)

    5. Textbook of  Sexuality Education (from V. Szilágyi)
