behavior evaluations

Sexual Behavior Evaluations

Sexual Behavior Evaluations are conducted on individuals who have significant sexual compulsivity patterns of behavior. These patterns may include excessive use of pornography and masturbation, frequenting strip clubs or massage parlors, or engaging in multiple affairs. The behaviors may also include public masturbation known as exhibitionism, voyeurism, or sexual offences, which include sexual contact with another person.

The Sexual Behavior Evaluation includes a diagnostic interview, administering several objective measurements, and may include administering a phalometric test known as the Penile Plethysmograph Test in order to assess deviant arousal patterns. This particular test is given if the patient has offended sexually against another person in which physical conflict was present, or if they have self reported attraction to under age individuals.

The results of the Sexual Behavior Evaluation are used to help determine level of risk for future acting out as well as assisting the therapist in developing an appropriate treatment plan.
