People had better use common sense when they deal with doctors and the medical profession! Else they will find themselves in a world of trouble. Strange, I've never heard anyone denigrate common sense before.

well........common sense gets in the way of...........it's on the internet (or in this case, google) so it has to be true.............................................raven

Sorry to harsh your mellow Raven, but it's not from the internet, it's from the DSM which I have on my desk.

Have a great game day

Clinically there is a big difference between someone who has an impulse but does not act on it versus someone who does act on it. Specifically with regard to pedophilia, there has been very little success treating individuals who have acted on the impulse.

"Treating?"

The only person I would be concerned about treating would be the victim.

But that's just me....

All this because a poster said it was her opinion. Who knew a shopping forum could attract so many authorities on anything and everything.

Yes. Treating. Jail of course. treating because you don't want the behavior repeated. My point is there has not been much success eliminating the impulse to act out on the behavior with pedophiles who have already acted out on the impulse in an illegal manner. Drugs, cognitive behavioral therapy etc. none of it has worked very well.

Sometimes you learn things when you're one of the victims. It is somewhat disturbing this thread morphed into a discussion of pedophilia.
