Assessment of progress in a treatment program for pedophiles and the prediction of risk of future offenses are based upon change along four parameters: decreased objective sexual arousal to child stimuli based on negative conditioning and penile tumescence monitoring, decreased emotional congruence with children, improvement in meaningful adult relationships, and effective therapy for disinhibiting factors. The latter three are measured by rating scales completed by both patients and staff. Although statistical analysis of recidivism is in progress, it may not reflect the true frequency of reoffenses. The ability to predict successful treatment is still limited to theoretical and subjective indices.
基于负性条件作用和阴茎勃起监测，对儿童刺激的客观性性唤起降低；与儿童的情感一致性降低；有意义的成人关系得到改善；以及针对去抑制因素的有效治疗。后三项通过患者和工作人员共同完成的评定量表进行测量。虽然对累犯的统计分析正在进行，但它可能无法反映真正的再犯罪频率。预测治疗成功的能力仍然局限于理论和主观指标。
