“…Research has shown that most men suffering from paraphilic disorders, actually have more than one paraphilia (Abel et al 1988;Bradford et al 1992). There is usually a primary paraphilic disorder and the predominant deviant sexual behavior would be in the direction of the primary paraphilia (Abel et al 1988;Bradford et al 1992;Bradford, 1999 and; according to Hall and Hall (2007), fifty to seventy percent of people with pedophilia have more than one paraphilia, while Taktak et al (2016) reported more than one paraphilia in only 13% of 307 sex offenders.…”

The primary aim of these guidelines is to evaluate the role of pharmacological agents in the treatment and management of patients with paraphilic disorders, with a focus on the treatment of adult males. Because such treatments are not delivered in isolation, the role of specific psychotherapeutic interventions is also briefly covered. These guidelines are intended for use in clinical practice by clinicians who diagnose and treat patients, including sexual offenders, with paraphilic disorders. The aim of these guidelines is to bring together different views on the appropriate treatment of paraphilic disorders from experts representing different countries in order to aid physicians in clinical decisions and to improve the quality of care. Methods: An extensive literature search was conducted using the English-language-literature indexed on MEDLINE/PubMed (1990-2018 for SSRIs) (1969-2018 for hormonal treatments), supplemented by other sources, including published reviews. Results: Each treatment recommendation was evaluated and discussed with respect to the strength of evidence for its efficacy, safety, tolerability, and feasibility. The type of medication used depends on the severity of the paraphilic disorder and the respective risk of behavior endangering others. GnRH analogue treatment constitutes the most relevant treatment for patients with severe paraphilic disorders. Conclusions: An algorithm is proposed with different levels of treatment for different categories of paraphilic disorders accompanied by different risk levels.

This study investigated the psychiatric, paraphilic, and forensic profiles of men who were convicted of sexual offenses. It also examined childhood trauma exposure in the group with potential paraphilia. The study was performed in the closed prison located in the Istanbul Silivri Penal Institutions Campus. The interview data of 100 men convicted of sexual offenses were obtained from the psychiatric interview notes based on the DSM-5 criteria, the results of the 28-item Childhood Trauma Questionnaire administered to the participants with paraphilia, and the forensic profiles from examination files. It was found that 39% of individuals were drug users and 36% were alcohol users. Considering the crime scenes, 42% of men convicted of sexual offenses committed the offense in their own house. Pedophilia was the most common among men with paraphilia (59%). The victim age was significantly lower ( p < .001), and the male victim ratio was higher ( p < .05) in the group with paraphilia than in the group without paraphilia. Sexual offenses against children aged 10 years and below and against males may be suggestive of paraphilia and an increased risk of recidivism.

“…Pedophilia is understood as the sexual desire of an adult or adolescent by prepubertal children (American Psychiatric Association, 2014;Miranzi & Miranzi Neto, 2017;Taktak, Yilmaz, Karamustafalioglu & Usual, 2016). Having a paraphilic disorder, such as pedophilia, does not imply criminal behavior.…”

The aim of this article was to investigate whether child and adolescent’s sexual offender (SO), with and without psychopathy, differ in relation to their ability to manage stress and distress. Thirty prisoners serving time in jail for sexual crimes against children and adolescents participated in the study, which was divided into two groups: G1 SO considered without psychopathy (N = 20; PCL-R <30); and G2 SO with psychopathy (N = 10; PCL-R ≥ 30). The instruments used were: a protocol for collecting information on criminal proceedings; the Rorschach test according to the Performance Assessment System (R-PAS), considering the variables of the stress and distress domain, and the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R). The data were analyzed using Student’s t-test and linear regression analysis. The results showed that 16% of psychopathy in SO was explained by a lower level of stress and distress.
