Socarides (formerly, psychiatry, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Yeshiva U.) and Loeb (psychiatry, Oregon Health Sciences U.) present six chapters providing psychoanalytic discussion of pedophilia. The work begins with discussion of the psychodynamics of different classifications of pedophilia. It then turns to examination of a case study of the early sexual experiences of a person who later became a pedophile, the concept of the pedophile as a juvenile socially disturbed individual, a case history illustration of the etiology of homosexual pedophilia, a review of clinical incidents of child abuse, and the impact of pedophilia on its victims.
