Download or read book The Sexually Unusual written by Dennis M. Dailey and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to shed light on sexually unusual expression, this unique book will assist helping professionals in their treatments and referrals of persons with sexually unusual life styles and behaviors. Based on the premise, “First, do no harm,” The Sexually Unusual is targeted for all helping professionals with little or no academic or clinical training in sexuality, who encounter clients involved in coercive and non-coercive unusual sexual behaviors. The vast majority of helping professionals, from all disciplines, who have had neither academic nor clinical training in addressing sex-related concerns, will find sensible and empathetic approaches to working with the sexually unusual--pedophiles, obscene phone callers, transvestites, transsexuals, exhibitionists, sexual addicts, and more. A historical perspective broadens the reader's view and displays the evolving and unfolding nature of the human condition.

Download or read book The Paraphilias written by J. Paul Fedoroff and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the thousands of papers and books about problematic sexual behaviors, most focus solely on sex crimes or so-called "hyper-sexuality" or "sexual addiction." Together, these publications present a grim and pessimistic prognosis for anyone who has unusual sexual interests of any type. This book challenges that view by providing a more informed and balanced review of what is known and what is not known about unconventional sexual interests. It is based on approximately thirty years of experience by the author concerning the assessment and treatment of paraphilias and unconventional sexual interests. The Paraphilias: Changing Suits in the Evolution of Sexual Interest Paradigms examines current and past perspectives concerning unconventional sexual interests associated with both criminal and non-criminal activities. Extensively referenced, it challenges the dogma that sexual interests are immutably determined during a single critical period and are thereafter unchangeable. The book provides extensive case histories and tables summarizing over 100 paraphilias and the latest research regarding them. It also reviews diagnostic criteria for the paraphilias. Analyses of current and past paradigms are presented together with new ways to understand, investigate, and provide meaningful and effective assistance to people with paraphilias. It is written for mental health clinicians and specialists in the fields of sexology and forensic psychiatry and psychology.

Download or read book Unusual and Rare Psychological Disorders written by Brian A. Sharpless and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many fascinating and important psychological disorders are either omitted from our current diagnostic systems or rarely covered during graduate or medical training. As a result, most mental health students and trainees are never taught to identify, diagnose, or treat them. This lack of attention has real-world consequences not only for patients, but for basic science as well. Unusual and Rare Psychological Disorders collects and synthesizes the scientific and clinical literatures for 21 lesser-known conditions. The coverage is broad, ranging from exploding head syndrome and koro to body integrity identity disorder and persistent genital arousal disorder. All chapters follow a uniform structure and introduce each disorder with a vivid clinical vignette. After discussing the historical and cultural contexts for the disorder, authors describe the typical symptoms, associated features, current role in diagnostic systems (if any), and etiologies. Clinically relevant information on assessment and differential diagnosis is also provided. Finally, authors review the treatment options and suggest future directions for research. This unique and engaging volume will not only be a useful resource for researchers and clinicians who already possess expertise in the more well-known manifestations of psychopathology, but it will also be of interest to students and trainees in the mental health professions.

Download or read book The Homosexual Paraphilia written by Richard Stevens and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-09-29 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homosexuality is a paraphilia. A paraphilia is an abnormal mental and emotional condition in which a person's sexual arousal and gratification depends on engaging in aberrant sexual behavior. A paraphilia is a sexual disorder which results from a psychosexual regression to an infantile state. Paraphilias are classified as cases of psychopathic personality with pathologic sexuality. This type of pathological behavior includes bestiality, homosexuality, transvestism, pedophilia, fetishism, sexual assault, mutilation, and sexual sadism, including rape. Homosexuality is a sexual deviation, a personality disorder of sociopathic subtype. The disorder is strongly related to childhood trauma rather than to an underlying electrophysiological dysfunction. Severe sexual, physical, or psychological trauma in childhood causes the development of the disorder. Homosexuality is a profoundly disturbed behavior. Such behavior is profoundly degrading and utterly subversive to the crucial understanding that human beings are unique, special, and of the highest moral worth in the known universe. Such degrading conduct unacceptably subverts standards of basic human dignity and is an affront to humankind's inestimable importance and intrinsic moral worth. Paraphiliacs often have more than one paraphilia. Paraphilias result in a variety of associated problems, such as guilt, depression, shame, isolation, and impairment in the capacity for normal social and sexual relationships. These conditions are all expressions of hostility in which sexual fantasies or unusual sexual acts become a means of obtaining revenge for a childhood trauma. The persistent, repetitive nature of the paraphilia is caused by an inability to erase the underlying trauma completely. Individuals with paraphilias have a history of childhood sexual abuse. Paraphilias represent a regression or fixation to an earlier level of psychosexual development that results in a repetitive pattern of immature sexual behavior. Paraphiliacs revert to a sexual habit that arose early in life. Homosexuals are guilty of their own disordered behavior. Even if homosexuals suffer from severe depression and psychosis, there is absolutely nothing to indicate that homosexuals do not fully comprehend the nature of their actions. The detailed nature of their plans and execution reveal that homosexuals always act in a deliberate and lucid manner and are not ignorant or irresponsible for their behavior. Homosexual paraphilics claim they have the right to be accepted in society. However, homosexual rights do not exist. A right by nature entails the capacity to enhance or complement life, since life is the primary right on which every other right depends. The homosexual lifestyle is in fact a death-style, in which a sub-group provokes people to adopt habits which are dangerous and dysfunctional. Since homosexual behaviors are dysfunctional, because they promote disease and death instead of enhancing life, they are contrary to natural rights, including life itself, which is the primary right. Homosexuals live unhealthy lifestyles and have historically accounted for the majority of cases of syphilis, gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, the homosexual bowel syndrome that attacks the intestinal tract, tuberculosis and cytomegalovirus. Homosexual websites, medical journals, psychological journals, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention all conclude that homosexual behavior results in greater risk for AIDS, Hepatitis A, B & C; many kinds of sexually transmitted diseases; anal cancer & other cancers; higher rates of alcohol dependence; tobacco use at 50% higher rates; eating disorders; high rates of psychiatric illnesses, including depression, drug abuse, and suicide attempts; debilitating health; and reduced life span up to 20 years.
