    Summary

    This pilot study found that less integrated attachment structures in men with sexual interest in minors correlate with higher dynamic risk for child sexual abuse. This suggests potential for structure-oriented therapies to mitigate risk.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry and Psychology
    • Forensic Psychology

    Context:

    • Understanding risk factors for child sexual abuse is crucial.
    • The Operationalіzation of Personality Disorders (OPD-2) provides a framework for assessing personality structure.
    • Individuals with sexual interest in minors present complex risk assessment challenges.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the relationship between the OPD-2 axis structure and static/dynamic risk factors in men with sexual interest in minors.
    • To explore how personality structure dimensions relate to the likelihood of committing child sexual abuse.

    Summary:

    • A pilot study assessed 30 men with sexual interest in minors using the OPD-2 structure checklist.
    • Attachment was the sole structural dimension significantly correlating with dynamic risk.
    • Lower integration of attachment structures was associated with increased dynamic risk for child sexual abuse.

    Impact:

    • Findings suggest that attachment structure may be a modifiable target for psychotherapeutic interventions.
    • This research highlights the potential of structure-oriented therapies in reducing dynamic risk.
    • Further research is needed to confirm these findings and refine intervention strategies.
