PERSONALITY ORGANIZATION AS MAJOR RESPONSIVITY FACTOR<br />
Men who sexually offend against children frequently meet the criteria of pedophiliaaccording<br />
to DSM-IV-TRresp. DSM-5. However, it remains unclear<br />
how many men with pedophilia actually commit an offence and reoffend.<br />
Also more research is needed to clarify the typological differences between<br />
hands on und hand off child offenders.<br />
This paper examines clinically relevant commonalities and differences of<br />
men with pedophilia with the help of the Structured Interview for Personality<br />
Organization(STIPO)according to the psychodynamicconceptualization<br />
of Kernberg. Variables of this study consisted of hands-on- vs. hands-off-offence,<br />
the sex of the victimsas well as violence in any offence.<br />
Results show that child sexual offenders function on different levels of personality<br />
organization.Although there was no statistical significance the personality<br />
of child sexual abusers wasmore often organized on a borderline level,<br />
while there was a greater variance in the levels of personality organization<br />
in consumers of child pornography.Violent offenders significantly more likely<br />
to function on a lower level of personality organization.<br />
Although there is little immediate prognostic relevance, the diagnostic and<br />
therapeutic value of personality organization should be considered as an important<br />
responsivity factor.Treatment of pedophilic offenders with a borderline<br />
structure can only be effective if the treatment is adjusted to the level of<br />
personality organization.<br />
