Case 7 : Pedophilic disorder
A 60 year old married janitor had worked as a fourth grade school teacher for 25 years before he transferred
school districts and finally several years later mysteriously lost his second job. He was referred for help after
his family discovered that he had repeatedly fondled the genitals of his 4 and 6 year old granddaughters.
A father of five who had not had sex with his wife for 30 years after strenuously objecting to her cigarette
smoking, he was generous, helpful, and cooperative with his children and grandchildren.
Intellectually slow, he preferred comic books and had a charming manner of playing with young children ‘
like he was one himself’.
By his estimate he had touched the buttocks and genitals of at least 300 girl students, thinking only of how
they did not know what he was doing because he was being affectionate and they were too young to realize
what happened.
He loved the anticipation and excitement of this behaviour. His teaching career ended when parents
complained to a principal.

was able to impregnate his new wife.
His preferred sexual activity had been masturbation in semi-public places. The patient had a strong sense
that his mother had always thought him to be inadequate, did not like to spend time with him and constantly
made negative comparisons between him and his ‘all boy’ younger brother.
He recalled several times when his father had tried to explain his mother’s antipathy; “It is just one of those
things son: your mother does not seem to like you”. Without substance abuse, he gave up his exhibitionism,
but he quickly developed sexual incapacity with his wife and became addicted to phone sex.

disgust.
