Extract

The assessment of sex responsiveness is a recurring problem in the field of conduct disorders and psychopathy, particularly when it is desirable to determine the effectiveness of therapy on the behaviour of the sex offender. Previous studies have indicated certain test differences in emotional disturbance and stress reactivity in subjects of known delinquent history, but it has been observed that sex responsiveness may be an additional (separate) factor to consider for the patient who is a known sex offender (19, 20, 21, 22).
