Biographical/Historical Information

Abraham Stone began his career as an urologist in New York City in the 1920s, and later expanded his specialties to marriage counseling and family planning services. He became active in the family planning movement with his wife, physician Hannah Stone (1894-1941). The Stones practiced as marriage counselors at the Community Church of New York City, and authored A Marriage Manual: A practical guide-book to sex and marriage. Their work was one of the first books to be published on the topic of marital relations and was reprinted several times.
