Description: "The Mind of the Paedophile discusses one of the most controversial and misunderstood subjects in the psychoanalytic arena today - paedophilia. A variety of treatments and therapies, including brain surgery, electric shock treatment and incarceration, have not succeeded in treating this condition. In this volume, a range of eminent and expert professionals go further: into the mind of the paedophile, using dream interpretation, free association, fantasies and memories, in a bid to comprehend the exact nature; the how, when and why, of paedophilia. Contributors:Wilfred Abse; William F. Greer; Daniel P. Juda; Brett Kahr; Loretta R. Loeb; Charles W. Socarides; and Vamik D. Volkan."--Provided by publisher.
