Abstract

Zoophilia or bestiality is a rare paraphilia which has received little attention in recent psychiatric literature. We describe a cohort of seven patients who were referred to a tertiary child and adolescent psychiatry service specializing in the assessment and treatment of young abusers. On the basis of the available material, we highlight the importance of enquiring into this type of behaviour and consider its implications for the risk assessment and treatment of young sex abusers.
