Understanding how risky it is to admit that you are struggling with certain problems in today's world, Anna brings the counselor to you in this book that is speaking directly to pedophiles. Designed to give you an experience that is close to talking to a counselor one-on-one, this book is divided into therapy sessions with homework assignments that carefully guide you through deep self-analysis at a safe pace. Reading this book will not only give you an in-depth understanding of how your mind works and why it is expressing pedophiliac desires, it will also give the tools you need to develop self-respect, self-compassion, and hope. Contrary to what many respected medical institutions claim, Anna believes that pedophilia CAN be cured when the right methods are used. Anna believes that effective therapy methods are gentle and respectful of the mind's wisdom, sensitivities, and boundaries. Her deep compassion for pedophiles and her vast understanding of psychological principles comes through in this positive, encouraging work. Filled with easy to understand metaphors and true-to-life examples, Anna helps you make sense of not only your pedophilia, but also other symptoms that are commonly associated with this type of trauma, such as child molestation, porn addictions, bestiality and BDSM. If you are looking for real help with a very legitimate psychological problem, read this book. It will change your life. ****CAUTION: This book was written specifically for those struggling with pedophilia. Due to the nature of the subject involved, this book contains disturbing descriptions of deviant sexual behaviors and sexual assault.

Paedophiles exist and we must develop ways of living with this fact whilst ensuring that children are kept safe. This ground-breaking book demystifies the field of adult sexual attraction to children, countering the emotionality surrounding the topic of paedophilia in the popular media by careful presentation of research data and interview material. Addressing how we can work together to reduce sexual offending in this population, this text bridges the gulf in understanding between those who want to protect children and those who feel sexual attraction to children – and recognises that they are sometimes the same people. Sarah D. Goode provides an overview of the topic by defining the term 'paedophile' and discussing how many adults there may be in the general population who find themselves sexually attracted to children. She looks at how the Internet has acted as an enabler, with an explosion of child pornography and 'pro-paedophile' websites. Drawing on data from a sample of fifty-six self-defined paedophiles living in the community, she explores themes including self-identity, the place of fantasy and the forms of support available to paedophiles. Her research highlights the scale of debate within the 'online paedophile community' about issues such as the morality of sexual contact with children and encouragement to maintain a law-abiding lifestyle. Throughout, she draws careful distinctions between sexual attraction to children and sexual contact with children. The book concludes with a valuable discussion on how adult sexual contact harms children and examples of a range of initiatives which work to protect children and prevent offending. Suitable for all professionals who work with children or sexual offenders, this book gives clear guidance on what one needs to know and do to ensure children are kept safe. It will also be of interest to students studying child protection, paedophilia and child sexual abuse within other social science disciplines.

This book provides extensive information on pedophilia (sexual interest in the prepubescent body age), hebephilia (sexual interest in the early-pubescent body age) and sexual offenses against children, i.e., the various forms of child sexual abuse, including the use of child sexual abuse images, along with the current state of knowledge concerning offender groups. The book makes it clear that pedophilia or hebephilia do not inevitably lead to offenses against children – that there are those who keep their desires in their fantasies and do not act them out on the behavioral level. The World Health Organization classifies pedophilia as a mental disorder. It can be safely assumed that many pedophile men in a given community live their lives, unrecognized and adamant about hiding their sexual drives from society and from themselves, and who are genuinely motivated not to act upon their sexual fantasies. The numbers of exactly this particular group of pedophilically inclined non-offenders can be increased by preventive therapeutic measures. For this purpose, two treatment programs have been developed at the Institute of Sexology and Sexual Medicine at the Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin (University Clinic) since the initiation of the Prevention Project Dunkelfeld in 2005 – First, the project involving adult participants (Berlin Dissexuality Therapy: BEDIT) and later, another for adolescents (BEDIT-A), who find themselves attracted to children. Both program manuals are completely integrated into this work, which reflects 15 years of assessment and treatment experience.

This version was created for use in sensitive situations, such as prison environments, in which it is problematic to have the subject matter of the book prominently displayed.**HOW THIS BOOK DIFFERS FROM THE ORIGINAL: A discreet title, reduced font sizes, removal of the section index & chapter separators, a reference to "chapters" instead of "sessions". These changes reduce the length and printing cost of the book.
