Abstract(s)
Na presente investigação procedeu-se à avaliação
psicológica de 41 abusadores sexuais (leque etário=17-
-73 anos; M=43 anos) actualmente detidos em
estabelecimentos prisionais recorrendo ao Millon
Clinical Multiaxial Inventory II (Millon, 1987) e a
algumas variáveis classificativas (e.g., idade das vítimas,
comportamentos sexuais praticados). Os resultados
demonstraram uma grande multiplicidade de perfis
psicológicos possíveis, alguns dos quais mais frequentes
do que outros, o que não corrobora a existência dum
perfil típico e estereotipado para abusadores sexuais. Os
resultados põem em causa o valor da avaliação
psicológica enquanto prova jurídica no caso concreto da
identificação de abusadores sexuais.
In this article the authors investigated the characteristics of the psychological profiles of 41 child sex offenders (age range=17-43 years; mean age=43 years) placed in state prisons. The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory II (Millon, 1987) and some descriptive variables (e.g., victim’s sex and age, sexual behaviors) were used. The results showed a wide range of possible psychological profiles, some more frequent than others, which don’t corroborate the existence of a single typical psychological profile. The results put in question the use of psychological evaluations as juridical evidence.
