'''Albert Moll''' ([[1862]]–[[1939]]) was a [[Germans|German]] [[psychiatrist]] and, together with [[Iwan Bloch]] and [[Magnus Hirschfeld]], the founder of modern [[sexology]]. Moll believed sexual nature involved two entirely distinct parts: [[sexual stimulation]] and [[sexual attraction]].
==Sexual theories==
Moll divided the sexual response into four phases<ref>Moll, Albert (1912) ''The Sexual life of the Child'' Macmillan, New York, (pp. 22–23) (original in German 1908)</ref>:
# The onset,
# the equable voluptuous sensation,
# the voluptuous acme,
# the sudden diminution and cessation of the voluptuous sensation
==Mysticism==
Moll was a firm believer in [[hypnotism]]<ref>Moll, Albert (1889) ''Der Hypnotismus'' Kornfeld, Berlin; </ref>, but not [[mysticism]]. He frequently indulged in the unmasking of [[Medium (spirituality)|mediums]] and [[séance]]s.<ref>Moll, Albert ([[1902]]) ''Christian science, medicine, and occultism'' (translated by F.J. Rebman) Rebman Ltd, London;</ref>
