what is the psychology of child molesters?

Question

my earnest appeal to all of you is to give some scientific answers based on health psychology.

Answer 1

it is called pedophilia.adults whose preferred or exclusive method of achieving sexual excitement is by fantasizing or engaging in sexual activity with prepubertal childrdren. while some authorities state that pedophilia occurs only in ales, there are specific cases of women having repeated sexual contact with children. about two thirds of the victims of pedophiles are girls between ages eight and eleven. in 10.3 cases, the child molester is a complete stranger and 15% cases, he is a relative.MAC NAMARA and SAGARIN say it is hard toknow how often pedophiles who have been caught say they were drunk as an excuse to reduce the stigma and lessen the chances of punishment.there are three types of pedophiles according to COHEN,SEGHORN AND CALMAS, 1. personally immature pedophile, a person who has never succeeded in developing inter personal skills and is drawn to children because hefeels in control of the situation.another category, the regressed pedophile usually developed strong heterosexual relationships without much difficulty, during some point in adult hood, however he begins to develop a sense of sexual inadequacy, has problems dealing with everyday stresses and often becomes alchoholic. his sexual contact withchildren is apt to be impulsive and with strangers, some times reflecting a sudden uncontrolllable urge that comes over him. the aggressive pedophile often has a history of antisocial behaviour and may feel strong hostility toward women. they are most likely to assault their victims and may cause sevee physical harm. according to the psychologist nicholas groth, 80% of pedophiles have a history of being sexually abused when they were childrn.freud's psycho analysys and psychotherapy may make these sex perverts as normal human beings.

Answer 2

molesters often see their victims as the only thing pure life has to offer. They will often molester children because they are seen as innocent and not "Dirty". Many people often are fool to believe that molesters main goal is sexual. Just like with rape it's really about power. The power to take a pure and innocent child and make them "Dirty". In a sick way it's the same power someone if you tell a child Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny isn't real but more intense. Micheal Jackson is a good example, he has always talked about how corrupted the world is and how pure children are. Micheal wants to have the power to let the kids know how "bad" the world really is.

Answer 3

the problem is u worded the question incorrect. Psychology is the learn of the suggestions and an persons habit. you won't be able to team all baby molesters. it is a guy or woman element. There are soo many opportunities that this question won't be able to be spoke back. supply a particular state of affairs and a few historic past next time.

Answer 4

As a psychiatric nurse these are the only clients i am unable to work with.They usually are childlike in their mind and see children as their only equals as mentally they believe the children are adult like and yet less controlling than an adult in nature. They live in a childlike state as is shown by people like michael jackson and therefore do not see what they are doing as wrong.They have usually been abused as children themselves and see abusive acts as normal and not wrong.As for the violent pedeophile they look at what they are doing as a form of control over an innocent human being who cannot fight back as do people who rape or who beat and abuse animals women or the elderly it is all about gaining control being in control and these males usually have dominant or over powering mothers. Women are of course also abusers in exactly the same way pedeophiles are not just male.

Answer 5

One of the starkest realities is that sexual predators are stunningly effective at gaining control over their victim. There are two basic predatory types, the power predators and the persusian predator. The power predator charges like a bear, unmistakingly committing to his attack. The more common offender is a persuasion predators. This criminal looks for a vulnerable victim, somone who will alow him to be in control. Like a shark circling his prey, the persusion predator approaches slowly and watches to see how people react to his advances. With each favourable respone he elicits, he circles closer. He is a coward, and crafty. Remember that "MISPLACED TRUST" is the predatos most powerful resource, and you can decide whether or not to give it to him. The best book I have ever read profiling this type of criminal was by author Anna C. Salter, Phd - phenomenal book. Drawing on her experience counseling victims and offenders, she creates a daunting picture for the readers. This is not a book with complete and comfortable answers. It will not finish with a checklist for identifying a sex offender.... reading this book will make it harder for sex offenders to get access to you or your children.
