Persons with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) who have engaged in problematic or illegal sexual behavior present with complex assessment and intervention needs yet remain understudied within the empirical literature. In the current exploratory analysis, important differences in adaptive and clinical functioning, adverse childhood experiences, and criminal offense history are examined in 25 persons with previous brain injury, 118 persons with intellectual disability but no known TBI, and 103 persons with no history of brain injury or intellectual disability, all of whom have engaged in problematic sexual behavior and who were residing in secure forensic inpatient care. Group differences were examined using comparisons of means and chi-squares. Results highlight important differences in education and employment experiences, diagnostic presentation, exposure to childhood maltreatment, and justice system involvement and characteristics of their sexual offense victims. Associations with prior literature and future research directions are discussed.
患有创伤性脑损伤（TBI）且存在问题性行为或非法性行为的人，有着复杂的评估和干预需求，但在实证文献中仍未得到充分研究。在当前的探索性分析中，我们对25名既往有脑损伤的人、118名有智力残疾但无已知TBI的人以及103名无脑损伤或智力残疾史的人在适应和临床功能、童年不良经历以及犯罪史方面的重要差异进行了研究，所有这些人都有问题性行为且居住在安全的法医住院护理机构。通过均值比较和卡方检验来研究组间差异。结果突出了在教育和就业经历、诊断表现、童年受虐待情况、司法系统参与度以及性犯罪受害者特征方面的重要差异。还讨论了与先前文献的关联以及未来的研究方向。
