Abstract

Two independent raters estimated the structural dimensions based on notes from outpatient psychotherapy sessions using the OPD-2 structure checklist.The interrater reliability of the structural data was moderate. Pearson/Spearman correlations between these structural data and the previously assessed static and dynamic risk were calculated. Attachment was the only structural dimension to correlate significantly positively moderately with the dynamic risk.The less integrated the structural dimension of attachment was, the more pronounced the dynamic risk was. The correlation between the structural dimension of attachment and the dynamic riskmay provide first indications of the potential of structure-oriented psychotherapeutic interventions formodifying dynamic risk in individuals with a sexual interest in minors from the dark field. The limitations of the methodological approach constrain the significance of the findings, prompting further research on the relation between structure and risk.
