Paraphilias 

 

Please find below a list of disorders that are currently proposed for the diagnostic category, Paraphilias. This category contains diagnoses that were listed in DSM-IV under the chapter of Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders. The Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders Work Group has been responsible for addressing these revisions. Many of the disorders that were previously listed in the Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders chapter in DSM-IV also have been distributed throughout separate chapters on Sexual Dysfunctions and Gender Dysphoria. For a comprehensive review of all of the disorders under the work group’s purview, please be sure to visit those chapters as well. We appreciate your review and comment on these disorders. The work group is currently discussing the inclusion of Paraphilic Coercive Disorder in the appendix.
