Read the article by Cooper, Swaminath, Baxter, and Poulin (1990), which is found in this week’s Learning Materials.

Using information found in the article, respond to the following in your initial post:

• What are the specific paraphilias the patient in the article exhibits?
• What elements of the patient’s developmental and sexual history are associated with paraphilic disorder?
• Review the patient’s medical and psychiatric testing along with her psychometric result. What profile does she exhibit that is consistent with other pedophiles? Is there a single diagnosis that stands out to you as the greatest single risk for developing paraphilia?
• Did the patient have any physiologic or metabolic abnormalities consistent with her paraphilias? If so, what were they?
