Contemporary Treatments of Paraphilias
J e r u s a l e m - I s r a e l
Paraphilias
is the biomedical term for sexual deviations of which there have been
described several hundred varieties. The most frequent ones are pedophilia (love for
children), voyeurism (“Peeping Tom”) and exhibitionism. All these are banned by the
law and punishable. During the course of many years physicians and law men have
devised many forms of treatments and punishments for individuals with pedophilia,
but besides surgical castration and long term incarceration no effective solution had
been found. Castration is irreversible and nowadays considered an unethical
punishment, whereas incarceration usually comes to an end after a certain moment
in time, so that sexual predators are again free searching for potential victims.
During
the last decade and a half new and effective therapies have changed this
panorama radically. The use of long term GnRH agonists or other anti-androgens,
new psychopharmacological drugs with correct psychiatric management, proper
education of potential victims, together with novel laws that are being enacted almost
certainly will protect children and the population at large from sexual predators.
For this meeting and workshop we have invited faculty members and world leading
experts in the area of paraphilias to speak on the contemporary treatments of
paraphilias - “State of the Art” - in a series of lectures and discussion panels.
We invite you to participate at the scientific session’s program of this challenging
and innovative paraphilias meeting, and welcome you to come to eternal Jerusalem.
