AUTHOR SOURCE SELECTION ABSTRACT
2008 Is there a paraphilic rape disorder? Mohan Nair, M.D. and Robert Friedman, J.D. psychiatry CD 10615 For mental health professionals who evaluate sex offenders and testify in court, the issue of paraphilic rape goes beyond the theoretical. Critics argue that 1) there is no reliable way to separate paraphilic rape from non paraphilic rape and that attempts by mental health professions to do so in the courts are both unethical and unscientific, 2) finding Paraphilia NOS represents collusion by MHPs to advancing police powers. Of these three diagnoses, Paraphilia NOS has been the most problematic since unlike Pedophilia and Sexual Sadism, rape paraphila is not spelled out as a separate diagnosis in the DSM. Attendees, following this presentation, should: understand the concept of paraphilic rape; differentiate paraphilic rape from nonparaphilic rape and paraphilic rape from sexual sadism; and understand controversies involving Paraphilia NOS (paraphilic rape) as it applies to Sexually Violent Predator civil commitment laws.

2006 Criminal profiling in child sexual assault cases Michael Abramsky PhD
Karol Ross MA JD psychology journal 6218 Criminal profiling is an investigative technique developed by the FBI to narrow and focus a search for an unknown suspect. This technique may also be utilized to identify whether a defendant in a criminal child sexual assault crime is more or less likely to have committed this offense. The introduction of such profiling data is necessary in cases where there is no objective collaboration and the only evidence is the accusation of an alleged victim. Challenges to the introduction of such data, based on Daubert/Kumho criteria and ultimate question testimony are discussed. The current status of profiling data on child sexual offenders is described.

2003 Doctors in trouble with ketamine-murder, rape, malpractice and insanity-4 cases and review of ketamine and the expert witness Karl L.R. Jansen, MD, PhD psychiatry tapes 3022 Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic with hallucinogenic effects. The presenter will consider the separate cases of four doctors facing charges resulting from their use of ketamine.

2002 Sexual assault of boys incarcerated in jails Wade Myers MD psychiatry journal 816 The sexual assault of juvenile males incarcerated in jails is a neglected, understudied problem. Moreover, a paucity of professional literature on this topic exists. Available information pertaining to minors in jails or similar settings supplemented when relevant with literature pertaining to adult inmates is reviewed. Three case examples of boys in jails, each sexually assaulted by multiple offenders, are presented.

1999 Evaluation of the Familyships Treatment Module for sexual assault inmates at a medium security federal institution Donald Nobbs MA
Roger Holden PhD

psychology journal 1313 The effectiveness of a Familyships Treatment Module offered at a medium security federal institution was explored. The Module was designed to help inmates build social skills to deal with dysfunctional family systems. Participants included sexual offenders and inmates convicted of other types of offenses. For the study, a measure of codependency that relates to personality deficiencies common to sex offenders was administered to forty-six inmates.

1997 Race, age and jury decisions in a civil rape trial- jury study Linda Foley PhD,
Melissa Pigott PhD psychology journal 241 The present study assessed jury decisions in a civil rape trial. The age and race of the plaintiff was varied through computer generated photographs. Mock jurors were from two distinct populations, university students and jury eligible citizens. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the Legal Attitudes Questionnaire, and the Universal Orientation Scale; viewed a photo of the plaintiff while listening to the case on audiotape; made individual and group assessments of responsibility of the plaintiff and defendant; and awarded monetary damages. Hypotheses that mock jurors would attribute less responsibility and award more damages to the white plaintiff than the black plaintiff were supported for the university students, but jury eligible participants reacted in the opposite direction. Similar findings occurred with regard to predictions for personality measures; they were supported for university students but not for jury eligible mock jurors. Our research indicates the necessity of reevaluating these instruments on a nonacademic population so that they will be more generalizable to civil trials

1991 Treating the inmate who has exhibited assaultive behavior Charlene Steen PhD, JD psychology tape 1920 Many jail inmates are in prison because of assaultive behavior; others exhibit lesser impulse control problems. Speaker discusses impulse control groups in the jail setting objectives and treatment modalities.

1988 Forensic hypnosis, memory recall related to rape and battery cases Jack S Annon PhD psychology tape 10269 Hypnotic induction was employed in three cases in order to refresh the victim's memory for specific past events. Cases involve women who were battered and raped. Presenter utilized photographic slides and audio tapes.

1988 Rape offenders' perceptions of victim attitudes Michael Cleary MD psychiatry journal 5067 This study finds that the rape victim's reaction, as perceived by the offender, is largely irrelevant to the offender. Most of the cases to which the author refers involve strangers, and the deliberate selection of a stranger underscores this lack of affect or empathy on the part of the rapist to the victim.

1988 Reliability and validity of penile plethysmography in rape and child molestation cases Jack Annon PhD psychology journal 5430 Psychophysiological measurement of genital blood flow in sex offenders is sufficiently established to have gained general acceptance in the fields of psychology and psychiatry. Discussion and extensive references on this procedure

1986 Rape-psychiatric interviews with five rapists Fred Berlin MD, PhD psychiatry journal 5063 Rapists tend to be overly assaultive, hypersexual males from the criminal subculture who can accept a wide range of sexual gratification and who exhibit a significant level of emotional disturbance. Offenders who exhibit the greatest future rape potential have often been involved in the following triad of crimes: heterosexual pedophilia, voyeurism and molestation of women in a lonely place.

1978 Consequences of resistance during rape William Howard MA psychiatry journal 5125 Much has been written about the advisability of resistance during rape. However, little empirical research has been done which could demonstrate its effectiveness
