In this thoroughly revised edition of his trailblazing book, Michael C. Seto summarizes and integrates advances in the study of pedophilia and sexual offending against children over the past 10 years.
His easy-to-read analyses of complex research across multiple disciplines will help mental health and legal professionals understand the psychological and neurobiological underpinnings of pedophilia and sexual offending against children.
The book dispels common myths - clarifying, for instance, that not all child sex offenders have pedophilia and not all people with pedophilia commit sexual offenses - and also distinguishes pedophilia from hebephilia (attraction to pubescent children).
Seto offers practical recommendations for conducting clinical evaluations, risk assessments, and interventions with pedophilic individuals and with sexual offenders in clinical and forensic settings. He also provides evidence-based suggestions for future studies and policy reforms.
New to this edition is an increased emphasis on prevention efforts with at-risk individuals who have pedophilia or hebephilia.
