Paper Introduction: DEFENSE OF THE INTEGRATED THEORY OF PEDOPHILIA Introduction According to the American Psychiatric Association (1994), the paraphilias consist of sexual disorders in which a person has persistent and strong sexual urges and fantasies involving either non-human objects (e.g., fetishism and transvetic fetishism), or real and/or simulated suffering (e.g., sadism and masochism), or non-consenting others (e.g., exhibitionism, voyeurism and pedophilia). Of the paraphilias, the most destructive and damaging to both individuals and society is pedophilia (Morrison, Erroga & Beckett, 1995).
