| Abstract: | 1. Like any other form of major mental disorders, pedophilia is an AXIS-I diagnosis that warrants psychiatric treatment. 2. The combination of anti-androgenic medications and individual/group psychotherapy are common treatments for pedophilia. 3. The social stigmatization of pedophilia brands mental health professionals who provide treatment for pedophiles as supporters of illegal sexual acts against children rather than as professionals treating a psychiatric disorder. |
