	Report of the Committee on Serious Violent and Sexual Offenders: page 9
		In clinical terms high risk offenders with a mental disorder are likely to have combinations of mental illness (of a psychotic or organic type), substance abuse disorder, personality disorder, psychosexual disorder and possibly a learning disability.
		Where these reports indicate that the offender is suffering from a mental disorder and that it may be appropriate for a hospital order to be made, then we suggest that the appropriate disposal, at this stage, would be by way of an interim hospital order for detention in the State Hospital.
		We recognise that treatment of the mental disorder may be appropriate and that it may be given in accordance with the general approach to consent to treatment and the special provisions of Part X of the Mental Health (Scotland) Act 1984.

		In February 1980, the RO denied the veteran's petition to reopen his claim of entitlement to service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder on the basis that the additional evidence was not new and material.
		Because the private physician treating the veteran at that time related the organic brain disease, not to the veteran's active military service, but, instead, to the post-service accident in which he suffered trauma to his brain, the RO found the evidence to be insufficient to reopen the claim.
		In addition, a VA hospitalization report dated from April to September 1985 demonstrated that the veteran was diagnosed to have a psychosexual disorder, characterized by excessive sexual preoccupation, and a mixed personality disorder of histrionic, paranoid, and antisocial character.

	Pedophilia - Definition, Description, Causes and symptoms, Demographics, Diagnosis, Treatments, Prognosis, Prevention
		A paraphilia is a disorder that is characterized by recurrent intense sexual urges and sexually arousing fantasies generally involving: nonhuman objects; the suffering or humiliation of oneself or one's partner (not merely simulated); or animals, children, or other nonconsenting persons.
		Pedophilia is also a psychosexual disorder in which the fantasy or actual act of engaging in sexual activity with prepubertal children is the preferred or exclusive means of achieving sexual excitement and gratification.
		An additional complication in diagnosis is that the paraphilias as a group have a high rate of comorbidity with one another and an equally high rate of comorbidity with major depression, anxiety disorders, and substance abuse disorders.

	Correctional Service of Canada - The Prevalence, Nature and Severity of Mental Health Problems among Federal Male ...
		Estimates of the wide DIS incidence of comorbidity (i.e., the co-occurrence of one or more other disorders) in the federal male inmate population was examined in relation to 'psychotic', 'depressive', 'anxiety', and 'psychosexual' disorders.
		In regards to the lower prevalence rate of 'psychosexual' disorders in the Quebec region relative to the other regions may simply be an artifact of the diagnostic training received by the DIS interviewers.
		Not so surprising, the lifetime prevalence of 'psychotic' disorder using stringent DIS criteria was found to be highest amongst inmates in treatment centres (22.5%), then next highest among inmates in security units (19.5%) when compared to inmates in the general population (7.4%).

		It is exciting to think that mental disorder can be legislated and planned for and that the numbers can be forced up by such delightfully indirect means.
		As there is every reason to believe that mental disorder increases in the absence of well-run vocational, educational, recreational, and remedial programs, such innovative programs must be seen as impediments.
		With a little planning, it should be possible to raise the incidence of mental disorder not just within the inmate population, but among the mental health staff as well.

	SSSS : About Compulsive Sexual Behavior
		The possibility of overpathologizing this disorder is the main criticism given by those who do not believe in the idea of compulsive sexual behavior as a disorder.
		However, there is no scientific merit to viewing these behaviors as disorders, compulsive or "deviant." When someone is distressed about these behaviors, they are most likely in conflict with their own or someone else's value system rather than this being a function of compulsion.
		Since CSB is such a complex disorder involving biological, psychological and social factors, a careful assessment by a well trained professional is necessary.

	Sexual Politics And Scientific Logic: The Issue Of Homosexuality Charles W. Socarides
		It is fallacious to conclude from this vote that the ma-jority of psychiatrists in the United States were in favor of the action, for only 25% of those eligible to vote out of more than 25,000 psychiatrists sent in their ballots.
		The ability of the homosexual to neutralize anxiety motivates the homosexual to use this as a face-saving rationalization-that is, that he or she is not suffering from an emotional disorder at all, especially if one is convinced that there is no help for changing their condition.
		The motive force for this movement was the wish to protect the homosexual against injustices and persecution which could to all intents and purposes have been removed by the demand for equal rights for the homosexual, a demand that could well have been fulfilled through humanitarian motivations so deeply embedded in our humanistic science.

		The result is that a widening segment of gender non-conforming youth and adults are potentially subject to diagnosis of psychosexual disorder, severe stigma, and loss of civil liberty.
		In the meantime, the benefits of reducing the stigma of psychosexual illness, while maintaining a clear and specific justification for SRS procedures for transsexuals, merit consideration by the APA.

	GENDER AS ILLNESS: ISSUES OF PSYCHIATRIC CLASSIFICATION
		While homosexuality was removed as a mental disorder from the second edition of the DSM in 1973, transgender identity and expression remain in the psychiatric classification under the diagnostic codes 302.3, transvestic fetishism (TF), and 302.85, gender identity disorder (GID).
		A key point in the declassification of sexual orientation as a mental disorder was the distinction between distress or impairment caused by society and that believed inherent to homosexuality itself.
		The present diagnostic categories of gender identity disorder and transvestic fetishism, like homosexuality in past decades, may or may not meet current definitions of psychiatric disorder depending on subjective assumptions regarding "normal" sex and gender role and the distress of societal prejudice.

	Book Review: Gender Identity Disorder
		Gender Identity Disorder and Psychosexual Problems in Children and Adolescents, by Kenneth Zucker, Ph.D. and Susan Bradley, M. Kenneth Zucker is well-known and much-published in the area of gender- identity disorder (GID) in children; his new book, with co-author Susan Bradley, provides some quite useful information.
		Yet this book is of value to such clinicians for several reasons: the family histories associated with childhood GID are closely related to the common developmental pathways leading to homosexuality; and as research has shown, the majority of gender-disordered children grow up to be homosexual or bisexual.
		To defend the concept that GID is a disorder, Zucker and Bradley must first attempt to define what a disorder IS--not an easy subject, these days, on which to build a consensus.

		At that time, he was diagnosed as suffering from atypical psychosis, substance abuse disorder and a psychosexual disorder.
		Johnson further testified that the divergent opinions among the Center's staff as to whether respondent still suffers from a mental illness are the result of his ability to present himself in ways that evoke favorable opinions of his condition in some staff members.
		Taintor attributed the opinion of other members of respondent's treatment team that he does not have a dangerous mental disorder and is a "model patient" to respondent's ability to charm people, tell them what they want to hear and further his agenda to appear as a model patient in order to obtain release.

		Dr.Barlow was discharged from Talbott Marsh for transfer to Charter on March 19, 1994, with final diagnoses of alcohol and nicotine dependencies, dysthymic disorder, and psychosexual disorder with addictive features.
		Dr.Barlow was "totally stunned" because he understood from Dr. Irons and Tillery that his psychosexual records would not be transmitted to the Texas Board, since its interest was in his treatment for alcoholism.

	Introduction: Sexuality and Sexual Disorders: Merck Manual Professional
		Masturbation, once widely regarded as a perversion and a cause of mental disorders, is now recognized as normal sexual activity throughout life; it is considered abnormal only when it inhibits partner-oriented behavior, is performed in public, or is sufficiently compulsive to cause distress.
		However, promiscuity is not in itself evidence of a psychosexual disorder.
		Physicians have an opportunity to recognize and address psychosexual issues, including sexual dysfunction (see Male Reproductive Endocrinology: Male Sexual Dysfunction; see Sexual Dysfunction in Women), gender identity problems, and paraphilias.
