Fixated pedophilic sexual attraction is considered to be a major determinant of risk among sex offenders, but there is little empirical evidence regarding its treatment. It was hypothesized that two prominent factors which have emerged in the literature as being present among some sexual offenders, namely, impersonal, narcissistic, and predatory patterns of offending against victims, and experiencing childhood sexual abuse, may be related to specifically to the strength of pedophilic interest. Such a relationship would provide a deeper understanding of the corollaries of pedophilic interest and would suggest targets for treatment. These factors were explored in a sample of 532 sexual offenders who attended the National Centre for Risk Assessment in Israel, and were found to be significantly related to the level of pedophilic interest in the sample. The implications for treatment of high-risk offenders are discussed.
性固着性恋童癖性吸引被认为是性犯罪者风险的主要决定因素,但关于其治疗方法的实证证据很少。有假设认为,在一些性犯罪者中出现的两个突出因素,即针对受害者的非个人、自恋和掠夺性犯罪模式,以及经历过儿童性虐待,可能与恋童癖兴趣的强度有关。这种关系将提供对恋童癖兴趣的必然结果的更深入理解,并为治疗提供目标。在以色列国家风险评估中心接受治疗的 532 名性犯罪者样本中探讨了这些因素,结果发现这些因素与样本中的恋童癖兴趣水平显著相关。讨论了对高风险罪犯进行治疗的意义。
