Updated to include the newest research on paraphilias and other behaviors such as online sex offending, this collection of 32 articles includes cross-cutting information on diagnosis and treatment as well as coverage of specific conditions. Topics begin with integrated theories of sexual offending and deviance over the life span (including reports on reductions in deviant behavior in the aging sex offender). Experts provide detailed coverage of the psychopathology, theories, assessment and treatment for exhibitionism, fetishism, frotteurism, pedophilia, sexual sadism, transvestic fetishism, voyeurism, rape, deviance in females, and multiple or miscellaneous paraphilia. Other topics include sexual deviance and the law, neurobiological processes and comorbidity in sexual deviance, medical models and interventions and the public health approach. This is useful as a reference for clinical and forensic practitioners as well as a text or reader for graduate and advanced undergraduate students.
