TY - JOUR TI - Pedophilia – the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties AU - Dąbkowska, Monika TI - Pedophilia – the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties AB - This article is an attempt to present the available definitions of pedophilia, mainly from a clinical perspective, showing the differences between current classifications of mental diseases and disorders in the understanding of that phenomenon. Currently binding – from 2013 – the fifth version of the classification of mental disorders from the American Psychiatric Association DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), has made some changes - mainly concerning the name - of the discussed disorder. Therefore, the diagnostic difficulties and resulting therapeutic indications for people with pedophilia are discussed.
