Research topic

The Counseling Center for the Prevention of Sexual Assaults on Children and Adolescents, established in May 2015, offers low-threshold counseling and therapy for individuals with pedophilic and/or hebephilic tendencies. In addition to a detailed sexual medical diagnosis and couselling, the project includes group therapy treatment and a subsequent aftercare group. This project is based on the standards of the prevention network "Kein Täter werden" (Don't offend), which is coordinated by the Institute for Sexology and Sexual Medicine at the Charité Berlin.
