The parental bonding experiences of sex offenders: a comparison between child molesters and rapists
Objective: It has often been hypothesized that because of a lack of early satisfactory attachments, sex offenders grow up unable to form relationships with adults, which makes them susceptible to pursue intimacy in maladaptive ways.

| description | Objective: It has often been hypothesized that because of a lack of early satisfactory attachments, sex offenders grow up unable to form relationships with adults, which makes them susceptible to pursue intimacy in maladaptive ways. This research aims to empirically examine the parental bonding patterns for a group of sex offenders, comparing child molesters and rapists.
Method: Seventy-six men convicted of a sexual offense (57 child molesters and 19 rapists) completed the parental bonding instrument (PBI), and were assessed by means of a semi-structured clinical interview.
Results: Affectionless control style of parental bonding was highly prevalent amongst the sex offenders. There was some suggestion that low parental care was associated with childhood abuse and disturbances, particularly for child molesters. High overprotection in mothers was linked with parental separation and sex play with male peers in childhood.
Conclusions: There is a need to replicate the study with non-sexual offenders as a comparison group, and to establish whether the PBI provides a useful adjunct to studies of adult romantic attachment in sex offenders.
Objectif: On a souvent pensé que les agresseurs sexuels grandissent sans réussir à établir des liens avec des adultes à cause d’une carence affective en bas âge, et que ceci les pousse à rechercher des liens intimes inacceptables. Cette recherche a voulu examiner de façon empirique le caractère de l’attachement parental qu’ont connu un groupe d’agresseurs sexuels, plus particulièrement en comparant ceux qui agressent les enfants et ceux qui commettent des viols.
Méthode: Par le biais d’une entrevue clinique semi-structurée, on a administré le parental bonding instrument (PBI) à 76 hommes trouvés coupables d’agressions sexuelles (57 ayant molesté des enfants, 19 ayant commis des viols).
Résultats: On a noté que plusieurs des agresseurs sexuels ont connu un type d’attachement parental contrôlant et sans affection. On est porté à croire que des soins parentaux médiocres sont reliés à des événements de mauvais traitements et de difficultés en enfance, surtout pour ce qui est des agresseurs d’enfants. On a noté aussi que ceux qui ont eu des mères sur-protectrices ont connu une séparation d’avec leur parent et des jeux sexuels entre garçons durant leur enfance.

Objetivo: A menudo se ha hipotetizado que debido a la falta de una relación de apego temprana satisfactoria, los agresores sexuales crecen incapaces de formar relaciones maduras con los adultos lo que les hace susceptibles a tratar de obtener la intimidad a través de vı́as desadaptativas. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo investigar empı́ricamente los patrones de vı́nculo parental en un grupo de ofensores sexuales comparando abusadores sexuales infantiles y violadores.
Método: Un total de 76 varones convictos de un delito de agresión sexual (57 abusadores sexuales infantiles y 19 violadores) completaron el parental bonding instrument (PBI) y fueron evaluados utilizando una entrevista clı́nica semiestructurada.
Resultados: Entre los abusadores sexuales se observó una prevalencia más elevada de estilo de vı́nculo caracterizado por el control sin afecto. Hay datos que sugieren que el cuidado parental pobre estaba asociado con el maltrato infantil de manera particular para los abusadores sexuales infantiles. Se observa una asociación entre una elevada sobreprotección materna y la separación parental y juegos sexuales con compañeros varones en la infancia.
Conclusiones: Se necesita replicar los resultados de este estudio utilizando como grupo control sujetos no ofensores sexuales y establecer si el PBI proporciona información útil en la evaluación del apego adulto romántico en ofensores sexuales.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0145-2134</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1873-7757</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/S0145-2134(02)00361-7</identifier><identifier>PMID: 12433135</identifier><identifier>CODEN: CABND3</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Oxford: Elsevier Ltd</publisher><subject>Adolescent ; Adult ; Adult and adolescent clinical studies ; Attachment ; Biological and medical sciences ; Child ; Child Abuse ; Child Abuse, Sexual - psychology ; Child Development ; Child Sexual Abuse ; Childrearing Practices ; Criminal Psychology ; Criminals ; Elementary Secondary Education ; Family Characteristics ; Family Influence ; Family Relationship ; Female ; Humans ; Intimacy ; Male ; Males ; Medical sciences ; Men ; Mothers ; Object Attachment ; Parent Child Relations ; Parent Child Relationship ; Parental bonding ; Parents & parenting ; Personal experiences ; Predictor Variables ; Psychology.
