TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - A female sex offender with multiple paraphilias: a psychologic, physiologic (laboratory sexual arousal) and endocrine case study JO - Canadian journal of psychiatry, The A1 - Cooper, A. J. A1 - Swaminath, S. A1 - Baxter, D. A1 - Poulin, C. SP - 334 EP - 337 VL - 35 IS - 4 N2 - A 20 year old female pedophile exhibiting multiple paraphilias and who had been both a victim of incest and an active participant, undertook extensive clinical, psychometric, endocrine and laboratory sexual arousal studies. Her psychiatric, psychometric and physiologic arousal profiles showed similarities to those of a sizable proportion of male child molesters, especially incestors. It is suggested that laboratory arousal tests (using the vaginal photoplethysmograph) may have a role in the assessment of some female sex offenders.
