Abstract

Clinical work with paraphilic sex offenders can be further complicated by the presence of additional comorbid psychiatric conditions. This article reviews the prevalence of Axis I and Axis II disorders among paraphilic as well as non-paraphilic sex offenders. The presence of a co-occurring mental disorder informs the need for careful, comprehensive, and individualized clinical conceptualizations of these types of cases. Considerations for assessment and treatment in working with paraphilic sex offenders who present with comorbid mental illness will be offered.
