Clinical Versus Criminal Voyeurism, Exhibitionism, and Frotteurism: Theory, Assessment, Diagnosis, and Intervention
摘要
Voyeurism, exhibitionism, and frotteurism are recognized by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) as sexual paraphilias that involve sexual arousal derived from non-consenting individuals (APA, Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, 2013). This chapter will focus on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition [DSM-5] definitions of Voyeuristic, Exhibitionistic, and Frotteuristic Disorders. This chapter will be divided into two parts. In the first part, what is known about Voyeuristic, Exhibitionistic, and Frotteuristic Disorders is presented in terms of diagnostic criteria, prevalence, frequency, age of onset, and scope of the problem separately by disorder. However, given the overlap between the disorders and the dearth of research about these paraphilias in general, the second part of the chapter will broadly discuss comorbidity, differential diagnosis, etiological theories, clinical assessment, and interventions for all three paraphilias in tandem and will conclude with recommendations for future research.
