This chapter gives a comprehensive, evidence-based, and pragmatic overview of forensic and clinical aspects of pedophilia and pedophilic disorder. Strengths and difficulties in the current diagnostic criteria are identified, and the clear overlap with hebephilia is described. The difference between pedophilia and child sexual abuse is explained. Comorbid conditions are considered and the etiology of pedophilia is explored with a conclusion that there are likely two primary pathways to developing pedophilic and hebephilic interests. The presence of pedophilia in adolescents and females is discussed and a range of typological frameworks and behavioral rating scales are provided to assist researchers and practitioners in identifying sexual offenders with a preferential pedophilic interest. Approaches to assessment, risk assessment, treatment, and management are also discussed.

摘要

This chapter gives a comprehensive, evidence-based, and pragmatic overview of forensic and clinical aspects of pedophilia and pedophilic disorder. Strengths and difficulties in the current diagnostic criteria are identified, and the clear overlap with hebephilia is described. The difference between pedophilia and child sexual abuse is explained. Comorbid conditions are considered and the etiology of pedophilia is explored with a conclusion that there are likely two primary pathways to developing pedophilic and hebephilic interests. The presence of pedophilia in adolescents and females is discussed and a range of typological frameworks and behavioral rating scales are provided to assist researchers and practitioners in identifying sexual offenders with a preferential pedophilic interest. Approaches to assessment, risk assessment, treatment, and management are also discussed.
