The effects of cyproterone acetate on sleeping and waking penile erections in pedophiles: possible implications for treatment.
    Canadian journal of psychiatry. Revue canadienne de psychiatrie, 1992, Volume: 37, Issue:1

    This study reports the short term effects in five pedophiles of the antiandrogenic drug cyproterone acetate (CPA) on nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT); penile responses to erotic stimuli in the laboratory; and sex hormones (testosterone, LH, FSH and prolactin). During the administration of CPA, NPT, laboratory arousal and hormone measures (except prolactin) all decreased. Waking laboratory measures were influenced less and were more variable (one subject showed greater arousal) than NPT measures. The changes in NPT closely paralleled the reduction in testosterone. The results are discussed with reference to the known psycho-neuroendocrinology of sleeping and waking erections.

[Treatment of nonpsychotic states of decompensation among oligophrenic patients including deviant forms of behavior].
    Zhurnal nevropatologii i psikhiatrii imeni S.S. Korsakova (Moscow, Russia : 1952), 1987, Volume: 87, Issue:3

    A total of 509 in- and outpatients with oligophrenia have been studied over time. A multiple modality therapy selected with due consideration to the structure and pathogenetic mechanisms of psychopathological symptom formation was found to be essential in the treatment and prophylaxis of decompensatory states in patients. It is emphasized that psychopharmacotherapy is rather likely to cause side effects and complications. The authors, therefore, pay much attention to search for new combinations of psychotropic drugs and to the use of pharmacological preparations of other groups, in particular alpha- and beta-blockers, and libido inhibitors.
