Das englisch-sprachige Internetforum für pädophile Boylover "BOYCHAT" hat das neue DSM 5 der "American Psychiatric Association(APA)" zur Pädophilie & Pädosexualität veröffentlicht. "BOYCHAT" ist das weltweit größte Diskussionsforum für diese sexuelle Minderheit und die internationale Alternative zum "Deutschen Jungsforum(JF) in englischer Sprache. Darüber hinaus bietet "Free Spirits" Diskussionsplattformen für die Sprachen dieser Länder an: Frankreich, Spanien und Niederlande. In diesen Foren diskutieren Pädophile aus der ganzen Welt öffentlich über das Thema der Pädosexualität. Aktuell geht es um das neue US-amerikanische Diagnose-System DSM 5, worin die sexuelle Orientierung/Identität der Pädophilie nicht mehr in jedem Fall als "psychische Störung" beschrieben wird. Dieser "Fortschritt" zeigt den Weg in die richtige Richtung. Das Ziel ist jedoch erst dann erreicht, wenn die Pädophilie aus dem Katalog der DSM 5 vollständig gestrichen wurde...

Diagnostic Features
The diagnostic criteria for pedophilic disorder are intended to apply both to individuals who freely disclose this paraphilia and to individuals who deny any sexual attraction to prepubertal children (generally age 13 years or younger), despite substantial objective evidence to the contrary.
Examples of disclosing this paraphilia include candidly acknowledging an intense sexual interest in children and indicating that sexual interest in children is greater than or equal to sexual interest in physically mature individuals. If individuals also complain that their sexual attractions or preferences for children are causing psychosocial difficulties, they may be diagnosed with pedophilic disorder. However, if they report an absence of feelings of guilt, shame, or anxiety about these impulses and are not functionally limited by their paraphilic impulses (according to self-report, objective assessment, or both), and their self-reported and legally recorded histories indicate that they have never acted on their impulses, then these individuals have a pedophilic sexual orientation but not pedophilic disorder.
Examples of individuals who deny attraction to children include individuals who are known to have sexually approached multiple children on separate occasions but who deny any urges or fantasies about sexual behavior involving children, and who may further claim that the known episodes of physical contact were all unintentional or nonsexual. Other individuals may acknowledge past episodes of sexual behavior involving children but deny any significant or sustained sexual interest in children. Since these individuals may deny experiences, impulses, or fantasies involving children, they may also deny feeling subjectively distressed. Such individuals may still be diagnosed with pedophilic disorder despite the absence of self-reported distress, provided that there is evidence of recurrent behaviors persisting for 6 months (Criterion A) and evidence that the individual has acted on sexual urges or experienced interpersonal difficulties as a consequence of the disorder (Criterion B).
Presence of multiple victims, as discussed above, is sufficient but not necessary for diagnosis; that is, the individual can still meet Criterion A by merely acknowledging intense or preferential sexual interest in children.
The Criterion A clause, indicating that the signs or symptoms of pedophilia have persisted for 6 months or longer, is intended to ensure that the sexual attraction to children is not merely transient. However, the diagnosis may be made if there is clinical evidence of sustained persistence of the sexual attraction to children even if the 6-month duration cannot be precisely determined.
Associated Features Supporting Diagnosis
The extensive use of pornography depicting prepubescent children is a useful diagnostic indicator of pedophilic disorder. This is a specific instance of the general case that individuals are likely to choose the kind of pornography that corresponds to their sexual interests.
Prevalence
The population prevalence of pedophilic disorder is unknown. The highest possible prevalence for pedophilic disorder in the male population is approximately 3%-5%. The population prevalence of pedophilic disorder in females is even more uncertain, but it is likely a small fraction of the prevalence in males.
Development and Course
Adult males with pedophilic disorder may indicate that they become aware of strong or preferential sexual interest in children around the time of puberty - the same time frame in which males who later prefer physically mature partners became aware of their sexual interest in women or men. Attempting to diagnose pedophilic disorder at the age at which it first manifests is problematic because of the difficulty during adolescent development in differentiating it from age-appropriate sexual interest in peers or from sexual curiosity. Hence, Criterion C requires for diagnosis a minimum age of 16 years and at least 5 years older than the child or children in Criterion A.
Pedophilia per se appears to be a lifelong condition. Pedophilic disorder, however, necessarily includes other elements that may change over time with or without treatment: subjective distress (e. g., guilt, shame, intense sexual frustration, or feelings of isolation) or psychosocial impairment, or the propensity to act out sexually with children, or both. Therefore, the course of pedophilic disorder may fluctuate, increase, or decrease with age.
Adults with pedophilic disorder may report an awareness of sexual interest in children that preceded engaging in sexual behavior involving children or self-identification as a pedophile. Advanced age is as likely to similarly diminish the frequency of sexual behavior involving children as it does other paraphilically motivated and normophilic sexual behavior.
Risk and Prognostic Factors
Temperamental. There appears to be an interaction between pedophilia and antisocial ity, such that males with both traits are more likely to act out sexually with children. Thus, antisocial personality disorder may be considered a risk factor for pedophilic disorder in males with pedophilia.
Environmental. Adult males with pedophilia often report that they were sexually abused as children. It is unclear, however, whether this correlation reflects a causal influence of childhood sexual abuse on adult pedophilia.
Genetic and physiological. Since pedophilia is a necessary condition for pedophilic disorder, any factor that increases the probability of pedophilia also increases the risk of pedophilic disorder. There is some evidence that neurodevelopmental perturbation in utero increases the probability of development of a pedophilic orientation.
Gender-Related Diagnostic Issues
Psychophysiological laboratory measures of sexual interest, which are sometimes useful in diagnosing pedophilic disorder in males, are not necessarily useful in diagnosing this disorder in females, even when an identical procedure (e.g., viewing time) or analogous procedures (e.g., penile plethysmography and vaginal photoplethysmography) are available.
Diagnostic Markers
Psychophysiological measures of sexual interest may sometimes be useful when an individual s history suggests the possible presence of pedophilic disorder but the individual denies strong or preferential attraction to children. The most thoroughly researched and longest used of such measures is penile plethysmography, although the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis may vary from one site to another. Viewing time, using photographs of nude or minimally clothed persons as visual stimuli, is also used to diagnose pedophilic disorder, especially in combination with self-report measures. Mental health professionals in the United States, however, should be aware that possession of such visual stimuli, even for diagnostic purposes, may violate American law regarding possession of child pornography and leave the mental health professional susceptible to criminal prosecution.
Differential Diagnosis
Many of the conditions that could be differential diagnoses for pedophilic disorder also sometimes occur as comorbid diagnoses. It is therefore generally necessary to evaluate the evidence for pedophilic disorder and other possible conditions as separate questions.
Antisocial personality disorder. This disorder increases the likelihood that a person who is primarily attracted to the mature physique will approach a child, on one or a few occasions, on the basis of relative availability. The individual often shows other signs of this personality disorder, such as recurrent law-breaking.
Alcohol and substance use disorders. The disinhibiting effects of intoxication may also increase the likelihood that a person who is primarily attracted to the mature physique will sexually approach a child.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder. There are occasional individuals who complain about ego-dystonic thoughts and worries about possible attraction to children. Clinical interviewing usually reveals an absence of sexual thoughts about children during high states of sexual arousal (e.g., approaching orgasm during masturbation) and sometimes additional ego-dystonic, intrusive sexual ideas (e.g., concerns about homosexuality).
Comorbidity
Psychiatric comorbidity of pedophilic disorder includes substance use disorders; depressive, bipolar, and anxiety disorders; antisocial personality disorder; and other paraphilic disorders. However, findings on comorbid disorders are largely among individuals convicted for sexual offenses involving children (almost all males) and may not be generalizable to other individuals with pedophilic disorder (e.g., individuals who have never approached a child sexually but who qualify for the diagnosis of pedophilic disorder on the basis of subjective distress).

[update] American Psychiatric Association(APA): Neues Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(DSM-5) erscheint Ende Mai 2013 - vom 23.05.2013
K13online Positionen zur sexuellen Identität: Einvernehmliche Pädophilie/Pädosexualität(Hebephilie) gehört aus den Handbüchern der DSM-5 und ICD-10 ersatzlos gestrichen
Die "American Psychiatric Association(APA)" wird im Mai 2013 ihr bisheriges DSM-IV-TR in das neue DSM-V ersetzen. Das "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(DSM-5)" ist in der Fachwelt äußerst umstritten. In diesem Handbuch ist unter den Paraphilen auch die Pädophilie als "psychische Störung" aufgeführt. Die DSM-5 dient auch als Vorlage der International Classification of Diseases(ICD-10) der Weltgesundheitsorganisation WHO, die in 2 Jahren neu erscheinen und für deutsche Ärzte bindend sein wird. Die bundesweiten Projekte der Berliner Charite haben im Vorfeld der neuen DSM-V darüber diskutiert, zwischen Pädophilie(unter 11 Jahre) und Hebephilie(11 bis 14 Jahre) zu unterscheiden. Beide sexuellen Orientierungen sollen ohne Störungscharakter gelten, sofern der Betroffene nicht darunter leidet, in seinen sozialen Beziehungen nicht beeinträchtigt ist und nicht entsprechend dieser Neigung gehandelt hat. Dies reicht nach Auffassung von K13online jedoch nicht aus. Die sexuelle Identität der Pädophilie/Pädosexualität(Hebephilie) gehört aus den Handbüchern der DSM-5 und ICD-10 ersatzlos gestrichen...
