Abstract
“Our minds are made up — Don't confuse us with the facts.” You shouldn't have a favorite journal article but that may be mine. It was one of the first articles I read on the field of treating problematic sexual behaviors (PSBs for short) in children and adolescents by one of the founders of the PSB treatment field (and one of the three people who taught me how to treat it), Dr. Mark Chaffin. Chaffin (2008) wrote this article as a commentary on the misguided, and often ineffective, policies surrounding intervening in PSBs in youth.
