On Monsters And Men



*****

"Sexual Abuse and the Sexual Offender examines the myths perpetuated by the media and widely held by the public, by providing actual data, with case examples, to demonstrate how sexual offending occurs, who commits these acts, what might cause such crimes, how sexual offenders are assessed, supervised and treated, and how to prevent such offending from occurring to the reader or to members of her or his own family.

Of key importance, this book corrects the common assumption that all sexual offenders are depraved predators who are strangers to their victims. In fact, the vast majority of sexual offenses are committed by otherwise seemingly normal men who are well-known, and even well-loved, within their families and communities. Also of crucial importance will be the fact that the vast majority of sexual offenders, once treated, are at very low risk to re-offend. In fact, sexual offenders represent the lowest risk group to re-offend amongst all offenders released from prisons or other institutions. Sections include the separation of offenders into meaningful categories, the actual frequency of sexual offending, its possible origins, the justice system's methods of supervising offenders, the instruments employed to measure risk, and how clinicians actually treat offenders in the therapy process."

Genuinely, A New One To Us - POCD


http://fairfieldocdgroup.freehostia.com/ocdcycle.html


"POCD is widely used to refer to fears associated with paedophilia OCD, an unwarranted obsessional fear of being a paedophile.

Some sufferers use acronyms to refer to their type of OCD, but the acronym is often used as an avoidance, in this case from using the word 'paedophile'.

The term POCD can also lead to confusion over the type of OCD being referred to because some use it to describe other forms of OCD, for example postpartum OCD or 'Pure O'.

This confusion leads to delays in treatment where a person will seek specialists in POCD but are unable to find any, as POCD is not a medically recognised term.

It is also possible that thinking of the illness to be something other than Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) may also hinder progress in understanding and tackling the illness, especially if the OCD later changes guise chameleon-like.

For informational purposes the acronym POCD is most are commonly understood to refer to:

Paedophile OCD.

Because of the high risk of confusion, OCD-UK generally discourages the use of these acronyms.

Regardless of the form of OCD, it will involve both obsessions and compulsions which are the problems that need addressing, and they are all equally as treatable through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)."

'I Was Scared I Was a Paedophile': 

"17 Years Living With Intrusive Thoughts And Pure OCD 

"Professional opinion is clear that intrusive thoughts do not lead to the doing of the feared action and do not indicate a moral flaw. However, socially speaking, thoughts of suicide, homicide and child abuse do not tend to make the grade as a general topic of conversation. I wrote this article to try and answer a simple question: how does one say that they have scary thoughts of child abuse without sounding like a paedophile? How does the mother explain that she thinks of harming her child without having to doubt her own sanity? How does the person who fears contracting a disease through seemingly impossible means ever sound OK? In short, how do we explain the horrors of our mind without sounding horrific?

The answer lies in understanding. Understanding that intrusive thoughts are actually just thoughts. We need not be scared or ashamed of these thoughts, no matter how sickening, shocking or horrific. And that is a wonderful thought."

Pedophile Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder 

"Painful, Unwanted Obsessions About Children

Although all the many ways that obsessive-compulsive fears manifest themselves can cause debilitating anguish, perhaps there is none that causes more distress than OCD with pedophile obsessions, sometimes called POCD. This form of OCD involves the fear of harming or molesting a child.

People may wonder what causes OCD to take this form. OCD has a tendency to latch onto things that are important to a person. For most parents, there is nothing more important than their children. So, imagine the distress experienced by a loving mother with a newborn baby, who imagines every day that she will do something unimaginable to her child."

Albany Trust - Press release

"Albany Trust has never supported the organisation known as P.I.E. financially, nor in support of its misguided ideology. Nor has Albany Trust ever associated itself in any way with P.I.E. in the past. For the sake of clarity, Albany Trust wishes to make it clear it entirely dissociates itself from any organisation promoting the sexual abuse of children. The issues that have been raised by the recent media coverage of links between P.I.E. and N.C.C.L. (now Liberty) are historic. Questions have been asked relating to the 1970s and whether Albany Trust also had links to P.I.E. These matters were dealt with in Parliament at the time by the government, and extensively in the public domain by Antony Grey (then Director of Albany Trust) in his book Quest for Justice (Sinclair-Stevenson, 1992.

The Minister speaking for the government of the day, stated in Parliament: "I am satisfied that no public money is being used (by Albany Trust) for any propaganda purposes on behalf of such an organisation [P.I.E.] (Hansard - HC Deb 15 December 1977 vol 941 cc 900-1).

The account given by Antony Grey makes it clear that the source of these questions were false allegations made by Mrs Mary Whitehouse. These were based on misinformation that had alarmed her about the purpose of funding provided by the government to Albany Trust. Although Mrs Whitehouse acknowledged Albany's letter to her correcting the facts by publishing it in her book, Whatever Happened to Sex? (Wayland, 1977), she never publicly apologised for her error. Albany's counselling services continue to provide much-needed support for individuals from all backgrounds, across the spectrum of sexuality. The Trust adheres to a professional code of ethics and practice of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy."

Born That Way?

"Pedophilia: the word alone conjures up the most unspeakable crimes. But what is it: a psychiatric disorder that can be treated? Some new research indicates it may actually be innate and unchangeable -- an orientation. We speak with ex-offenders and doctors on both sides of the debate. This episode was researched and prepared by documentary filmmaker Andrew Munger."
