The term Paraphilias refers to patterns of 'abnormal' sexual behaviour. People with paraphilic disorders often have uncontrollable sexual fantasies and desires. Your lecture notes indicate that Cognitive-Behavioral the theory argues that abnormal sexual fantasies and behaviour are learned from a person's environment - such as a person's culture, family and friends. Also, people do NOT always have control over their own environment. If this is true, then a person who has an ABNORMAL sexual disorder REALLY personally responsible for their abnormal sexual behaviours? Should people with Paraphilias be PUNISHED for their abnormal sexual behavior?
