Abstract

Problematic sexual behavior (PSB) among preteen children is a poorly understood clinical phenomenon that may leave even the most skilled and knowledgeable of clinicians at a loss when attempting to develop an evidence-based treatment approach. Much of this lack of practical direction can be credited to the relatively scarce clinical trial research examining this outcome. Nonetheless, the etiological research on PSB provides clearer directions and suggests the implementation of already well-established interventions may be effective. This paper reviews the current state of the etiological research pertaining to PSB and places these findings within developmental psychopathology, social learning theory, and post-traumatic stress disorder symptomatology frameworks. Specific treatment directives derived from these three viewpoints are then reviewed, including a review of the current evidence base for the treatment of PSB. Finally, a treatment planning algorithm is specified to help clinicians identify the most beneficial approach to treating PSB in a given case.

青春期前儿童问题性行为的病因学观点:对治疗的启示。

青春期前儿童的问题性行为(PSB)是一种知之甚少的临床现象，即使是最熟练和知识最渊博的临床医生在试图开发循证治疗方法时也会感到困惑。这种缺乏实际指导的主要原因是检验这一结果的临床试验研究相对较少。尽管如此，PSB的病因学研究提供了更明确的方向，并表明实施已经建立的干预措施可能是有效的。本文回顾了与PSB有关的病因学研究的现状，并将这些发现纳入发展精神病理学、社会学习理论和创伤后应激障碍症状学框架。从这三个观点得出的具体治疗指示，然后进行审查，包括审查目前的证据基础的治疗PSB。最后，一个治疗计划算法被指定，以帮助临床医生确定治疗PSB在一个给定的情况下最有益的方法。
