"This article renders the results of research that investigated personality disorders in a sample of paraphilic and nonparaphilic child molesters. For several child molesters, psychological approaches to the treatment of sexual offending (eg, cognitive—behavioral treatment, psychotherapy in general) are limited and cannot be expected to immediately reduce risk. Interest has been expressed in medical approaches to reduce recidivism, in combination with psychotherapy."
