Abstract

There is a need for community treatment programs for people who are sexually attracted to children, but individuals report difficulty accessing services. Individuals who are sexually attracted to children (n = 293) completed an online anonymous survey that revealed a significant positive association between maladaptive coping and two factors of the treatment motivation measure. The association between maladaptive coping and treatment motivation was attenuated at higher levels of ego dystonic distress/aversion. Results highlight the importance of targeting stigma toward those who are sexually attracted to children to increase treatment seeking behavior.

生活在社区中的儿童受到性吸引的个体的适应不良应对与治疗动机之间的关联

摘要

需要为被儿童性吸引的人制定社区治疗计划，但个人报告难以获得服务。被儿童性吸引的个体 ( n  = 293) 完成了一项在线匿名调查，该调查揭示了适应不良的应对与治疗动机测量的两个因素之间存在显着的正相关。适应不良的应对和治疗动机之间的关联在较高水平的自我张力障碍困扰/厌恶中减弱。结果强调了针对那些被儿童性吸引的人的污名化以增加寻求治疗行为的重要性。
