Stephen Barrett Levine (born 1942) is an American psychiatrist known for his work in human sexuality, particularly sexual dysfunction and transsexualism. ==Education and career== Levine earned his M.D. from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in 1967 and serves as a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry there. His clinical practice began in the mid-1970s as the University Hospitals of Cleveland Sexual Dysfunction Clinic. In 1993 the Clinic separated from University Hospitals, and is presently called The Center for Marital and Sexual Health in Beachwood, Ohio. His early work focused on premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, and he has written on a number of treatment options, including vacuum pumps,〔Turner LA, Althof SE, Levine SB, et al. (1991). External Vacuum Devices in the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction: A One-Year Study of Sexual and … ''Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy''〕 injections into the corpus cavernosum of the penis,〔Althof SE, Turner LA, Levine SB, Risen C, Kursh ED (1987).

A Study Using Viagra in a Mental Health Practice. ''Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy''〕 The most potent aphrodisiacs, according to Levine, are psychological intimacy〔Levine SB (1991). Psychological intimacy. ''Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy''〕 and voyeurism: "looking at pictures or movies of people engaged in genital or romantic interplay."〔Brody JE (August 4, 1993). (Personal health ). ''New York Times''〕 Levine has written on sex offenders, including professionals who offend.〔Levine SB, Risen CB, Althof SE (1994). Professionals who sexually offend: Evaluation procedure; and preliminary findings. ''Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy''〕 He cites Kurt Freund as an important influence because Freund wanted to define the subtypes of child molesters to help devise a means of prevention.〔Freeman, Karen (October 27, 1996). (Kurt Freund Dies at 82; Studied Deviant Sexual Arousal ). ''New York Times''〕 Levine has written about adultery and infidelity and believes pejorative terms like "cheating" and "infidelity" prevent addressing the issue in realistic terms.〔Alexander, Brian (April 17, 2007). (To stay or stray? Crimes of opportunity ). MSNBC〕 He is noted for his work in clinical management of gender identity disorder. Levine was Chair of the fifth edition of the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association Standards of Care in 1998.〔Levine SB, Brown G, Coleman E, Cohen-Kettenis P Hage JJ, Van Maasdam J, Petersen M, Pfaefflin F, Schaefer LC (1999). The Standards of Care for Gender Identity Disorders. ''Journal of Psychology & Human Sexuality''〕 Levine also served on the American Psychiatric Association DSM-IV Subcommittee on Gender Identity Disorders.〔Bradley SJ, Blanchard R, Coates SW, Green R, Levine SB, Meyer-Bahlburg HFL, Pauly IB, Zucker KJ (1991). Interim report of the DSM-IV Subcommittee on Gender Identity Disorders. ''Archives of Sexual Behavior'' Volume 20, Number 4 / August, 1991〕 Levine was section co-editor with R. Taylor Segraves for the section on sexual and gender identity disorders in ''Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders'' by Glen Gabbard. Notable contributors included Martin Kafka (paraphilias) and Kenneth Zucker (gender identity disorder in children and adolescents).〔Segraves RT, Levine SB (section editors) Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders. In Gabbard GO, ed. (2001). ''Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders.''〕 Although much of his work is written for other clinicians, Levine has written books for a lay audience, including ''Solving Common Sexual Problems'' (1997) and ''Sexuality in Mid-Life'' (2004). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stephen B.
