What is one reason that it is almost impossible to determine how many people have paraphilias?
a. The DSM's definition of paraphilias is too narrow, thus limiting the pool of people who would potentially come forward and report their paraphilic behavior.
b. Most people with noncoercive paraphilias do not feel their behaviors are problematic and consequently do not seek help.
c. People with a paraphilia are also likely to be compulsive liars, thus making estimations from self-reports unreliable.
d. Most people with coercive paraphilias are proud of their actions and often boast about their sexual behaviors, thus leading to an overestimation of paraphilic behavior.
Question 2
In what way does psychoanalytical theory explain paraphilias?
a. Psychoanalytical theory suggests that people make strong associations between non-sexual objects and sexual arousal when the object and arousal become paired.
b. Psychoanalytical theory suggests that when brain damage goes undetected during childhood, it can lead to paraphilic behavior.
c. Psychoanalytical theory suggests that societal norms dictate our feelings about sexual behaviors, leading to repressed sexual arousal and subsequent paraphilic behaviors.
d. Psychoanalytical theory suggests that our childhood experiences influence our adult behaviors.
