Both groups were compared with a general sample of sex offenders (n = 2125). The 3 groups were compared on sexual history and preference, substance abuse, mental illness, personality, history of crime and violence, neuropsychological impairment, and endocrine abnormalities.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Physicians in this study were highly educated and older, forming a statistically significant subgroup of sex offenders. The majority of physician sex offenders suffered from a sexual disorder (68.4%), as did the other 2 groups. Physicians showed more neuropsychological impairment and endocrine abnormalities and less antisocial behaviour than did the general sample of sex offenders but did not differ from the matched control group. Physician offenders who sexually assaulted their patients did not differ from those who had nonpatient victims.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n Despite differences in age, education, and occupation between physician sex offenders and sex offenders in general, the same assessment procedures can be recommended for examining both groups. Although the sample size is small, results suggest that physicians who commit sexual offences should be scrutinized by phallometric assessment of sexual deviance and especially for neurological and endocrine abnormalities.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/070674379904400803","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,5]],"date-time":"2017-01-05T20:49:58Z","timestamp":1483649398000},"page":"775-780","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Physicians Who Commit Sexual Offences: Are They Different from other Sex Offenders?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Ron","family":"Langevin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Director, Juniper Psychological Services; Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Graham D","family":"Glancy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Forensic Psychiatrist, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Curnoe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Assistant, Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Bain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor of Medicine, Obstetrics, and Gynecology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1999,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-070674379904400803","unstructured":"Dahlberg CC.
