Abstract
Sexual interest in children involves many difficulties for a reliable assessment, mainly dissimulation in forensic contexts. The association of deviant sexual interest with sexual reoffending and its usefulness as an index of therapeutic success have encouraged the development of several assessment techniques. This article includes a review of self-report instruments, penis pletismography, and latency-based measures. Although all techniques show limitations regarding manipulation and discriminative power, multi-method batteries appear to be the most reliable and comprehensive assessment alternative, as well as a relevant line of future research.
