Poaedophilia - Symptom, Treatment and cause of Poaedophilia
Poaedophilia Description
(Pederasty)
A psychiatric disturbance that results in the sexual abuse of a child
by adult men (most commonly) or women.
Poaedophilia Cause
May develop from childhood abuse of the paedophile by his or her parents,
or other psychological traumas as a child. Paedophilia is NOT more common
in homosexuals, but pederasty is by definition a homosexual act between a
man and a boy.
Poaedophilia Symptom
Mentally disturbed adults who use children to become sexually
aroused to the point of orgasm. Sexual contact varies from feeling, to oral sex,
or sexual penetration that may progress to serious injury or rarely murder.
Paedophiles have difficulty in establishing normal intimate relationships with
adults of the opposite sex, have inadequate personalities, low self esteem, and
male paedophiles are often impotent.
Investigation
No diagnostic tests, but any cause of mental disturbance needs
to be excluded.
Poaedophilia Treatment
Prolonged counselling by a psychiatrist and sometimes medications to reduce sexual desire and increase control.
Complications
If discovered, paedophiles are invariably charged in the courts.
Prognosis of Poaedophilia
Long term success is poor.
