Study Notes

Classification Systems and Paraphilias

Paraphilia is a term used to describe unconventional sexual interests
The DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) and ICD (International Classification of Diseases) are two classification systems that have taken steps towards depathologizing unconventional sexual interests
The DSM has removed several paraphilias from its manual, while the ICD has revised its classification to reduce stigma

Characteristics of Paraphilias

There are multiple types of paraphilias, with one source listing over 500 types
The majority of paraphilias are harmless forms of individual sexual expression
Sub-classifications of paraphilia are sometimes argued against, as they can be seen as overly complex and stigmatizing

Understanding Paraphilias

Paraphilias are not necessarily harmful or problematic, and can be a natural part of human sexuality
The classification of paraphilias is complex and has evolved over time, with ongoing debates around their definition and treatment
