Summary

The goal of this randomized study is to learn if a psychological intervention can treat help-seeking patients with paraphilic disorders.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Is psychological therapy helpful for the reduction of problematic sexual behaviors among patients with paraphilic disorders?
2. Is psychological helpful for the reduction of psychiatric symptoms and risk factors for sexual violence and improving quality of life among patients with paraphilic disorders?
3. How do patients with paraphilic disorders describe pathways to care (e.g. perceived obstacles to seeking care) and how do they experience the treatment?

The treatment addresses specific sexual problems. It also addresses mental symptoms (e.g. depression and anxiety). A psychologist provides the treatment face to face (on site or video). The aim is to finish the treatment within 12 weeks.

The patient will report symptoms on a daily basis. The patient will also be interviewed after completion of treatment. The investigator will pose questions such as "Was there anything that was experienced as particularly helpful in the treatment?", "Was there anything that was not helpful?". The investigator will also ask about treatment seeking behavior with questions such as "What kinds of resources would be helpful if they were available?"
