“…Although it is easy to see overlap with the first three of those factors in other mental health disorders, the deviant sexual arousal factor is specific to sexual offending. Two potential bases for acting on deviant sexual arousal, although certainly not complete theories, are dispositions toward impulsive behavior or compulsive sexual behavior (Babchishin, Hanson, & VanZuylen, 2015;Cohen et al, 2002;Hanson & Morton-Bourgon, 2005;Ward & Beech, 2006;Wood, 2011).…”

“…There has been some debate over the correct theoretical foundations for the expression of deviant sexual behavior (Barth & Kinder, 1987;Cohen et al, 2002;Heffernan & Ward, 2015). More specifically, in the area of compulsive and impulsive behaviors, the debate has focused on whether the expression of deviant sexual behavior is impulsive, compulsive, a combination of the two, sexual addiction, hypersexual behavior, or sexual preoccupation.…”

“…Hence, the causal link between abnormal brain function on the one hand and striking abnormal personality traits and legal offenses on the other still remains to be explored intensively. To date we face initial results indicating that brain function, personality traits and legal offense might be dependent on one other (Canli et al, 2002;Cohen et al, 2002;Fagan, Wise, Schmidt, & Berlin, 2002;Mayberg, 1996;Raymond, Coleman, Ohlerking, Christenson, & Miner, 1999). The fact that our knowledge in this field is still too limited to be of significant use in predicting violent behavior or criminal relapses should not lead to the conclusion that biological methods will never contribute to increased predictive accuracy.…”

“…Many of the most abhorrent violent offenders show psychopathic personality disorders that can be characterized by moderate heritability (Slutske, 2001) and abnormalities in the orbital and prefrontal cortex and the amygdala (Blair, 2003(Blair, , 2004Brower & Price, 2001;Canli et al, 2002;Kiehl et al, 2001Kiehl et al, , 2004Laakso et al, 2002;Mü ller et al, 2003;Wong et al, 1997;Yang, 2005). Single case reports on pedophiles suggest abnormalities in the orbitofrontal and temporal cortices (Burns & Swerdlow, 2003;Cohen et al, 2002;Dressing et al, 2001;Flor-Henry, Lang, Koles, & Frenzel, 1991;Mendez, Chow, Ringman, Twitchell, & Hinkin, 2000;Wiebking, Witzel, Walter, Gubka, & Northoff, 2006). In our own investigations in this field we found alterations of the amygdala in most all pedophilic subjects remanded to a forensic treatment facility when sentenced .…”

“…En relación al contexto de evaluación, emergen resultados que indican que los sujetos forenses obtienen puntuaciones mayores que los sujetos clínicos en prácticamente todas las escalas del MCMI-III (L. J. Cohen et al, 2002;Winberg, M. y Vilalta, 2009). Si bien, existen estudios que evidencian que en los ambientes forenses los sujetos tienden a exagerar los resultados con la presencia de trastornos de personalidad antes que con la misma falsificación, exceptuando en las escalas dependiente y narcisista (Grillo, Brown, Hilsabeck, Price, y Lees-Haley, 1994 cuestionario para un propósito, no implica inexorablemente su bondad, será la evidencia empírica, y no la frecuencia en su uso, la que respalde la utilidad del instrumento de medida, en un contexto determinado y, consecuentemente garantice su admisión (Lally, 2003).…”
