The proposed classification may have different implications for different countries. AIM: To examine South African national laws and policies, within which Paraphilic Disorders are encountered, and to assess the implications of the new classification.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>A South African working group - representing experts within the disciplines of criminal law, psychiatry, psychology, public health, and criminology - reviewed: (i) national laws affected by reclassification, (ii) current practices in the psycho-legal assessment of sexual offenders, (iii) the implications of the reclassification for assessment and decision-making in forensic practice and other health settings, (iv) specific implications of the reclassification for diagnosis, and (v) implications of the reclassification as it relates to the demographic and sociocultural context of South Africa.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Outcomes<\/jats:title><jats:p>As a rule, South African courts do not accept the existence of a Paraphilic Disorder on its own to be sufficient grounds to absolve any defendant from criminal responsibility though defence. Nevertheless, a diagnosis such as coercive sexual sadism disorder runs the risk of medicalization of criminal behavior with inappropriate use to mitigate sentences.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical Implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The ICD-11 approach is clinically useful in emphasizing that a broad range of sexual behavior fall under the rubric of healthy sexual behavior, but also that compulsive sexual behavior can be pathological.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Strengths and Limitations<\/jats:title><jats:p>This analysis was conducted by an interdisciplinary expert group, aligning international forensic mental health and national legal constructs in a low-middle income country (LMIC).
