Understanding sexual offending in schizophrenia

Abstract: It is proposed that schizophrenic patients who engage in sexually offensive activities fall into four broad groups: (1) those with a pre-existing paraphilia; (2) those whose deviant sexuality arises in the context of illness and/or its treatment; (3) those whose deviant sexuality is one manifestation of more generalized antisocial behaviour, and (4) factors other than the above. This classification provides a useful framework for evaluating and treating sexually offensive behaviours in schizophrenic patients.

“…In the total offender population, the following index offenses were found: (attempted) manslaughter (27%), offense against property with violence (27%), threat with violence (19%), severe battery (17%), robbery with violence (10%), arson (10%), (attempted) murder (9%), (attempted) blackmail (9%), and other violent acts (8%). Sexual offenses were not included in this study because the aetiology of sexual offenses committed by psychotic patients is very different from that of sexual offenses committed by patients with a personality disorder (Drake & Pathé, 2004).…”

“…In serious sexual offenders with schizophrenia in England and Wales who attacked adult females (Smith 1999a(Smith -d, 2000a: most had delusions or hallucinations related to offending, but few had symptoms which drove their offending; most were opportunistic or sexually motivated (rather than motivated by anger or sadism); bizarre or extreme behaviour was uncommon; most had interpersonal, emotional and sexual problems found commonly in non-mentally ill offenders, particularly those who offended before illness onset; and very few received psychological treatment to address sexual offending. Positive symptoms, negative symptoms, cognitive deficits, poor social functioning and medication affect various areas of psychosocial functioning of relevance to sexual offending (Drake 2006). Psychotic illness does not predict recidivism in long-term studies (Mann 2010).…”

“…Insgesamt zeigte sich ein sozial defizitärer, dissozialer schizophrener Mann, der unbekannte Opfer alleine überfällt und durch bizarres Verhalten während der sexuellen Straftat auffällt. typologien Die Gruppe der Schizophrenen wurde von Drake u. Pathé [3] in einer Überblicksarbeit in vier Untergruppen eingeteilt, nämlich diejenigen mit präexistenter Paraphilie, mit dissozialen Persönlichkeitszügen, mit vorwiegend krankheitsbedingten Einbußen und mit zusätzlich hirnorganischen oder substanzabhängigen Störungen. Smith [15] bildete anhand der MTC:R3-Typologie [6] für nicht kranke Sexualstraftäter sechs Untergruppen, wobei der Großteil der Stichprobe dem sexuell motivierten, dem sozial inkompetenten und dem opportunistischen Tätertypen zugeordnet wurde.…”

“…neurokognitive Defizite Green [4] fand in seiner Überblicksarbeit zu neurokognitiven Defiziten bei Schizophrenen einen Zusammenhang zwischen reduzierter Aufmerksamkeit und eingeschränkten verbalen Gedächtnisleistungen mit Fehlinterpretationen sozialer Schlüsselreize und schlechten Problemlösefähigkeiten. Diese Befunde interpretierten Drake u. Pathé [3] als Defizite, die schnell ein unangemessenes sexuelles Verhalten im zwischenmenschlichen Kontext entstehen lassen. Ähn-liche Defizite wurden in der eigenen Untersuchung [10] bei einem Großteil der schizophrenen Stichprobe gefunden.…”
