Abstract

This document is designed to assist the medical provider when a child with problematic sexual behaviors (PSB) presents in the clinic setting. These guidelines are focused on a multidisciplinary team approach with an educational component. There may be times when a provider may not have access to all of the team members and these guidelines will provide some suggested next steps. In addition, the Appendices contain information on normal and abnormal behaviors most frequently seen in children less than 12 years of age as well as discuss when children first begin engaging in sexual relationships. Medical providers should understand that children with PSB are very different from adolescent sex offenders.
