[Problems in mandatory sex therapy].

The authors focus attention on analysis of advantages and problems of the Czech model of imposed treatment of criminal sexual deviants. Relatively favourable therapeutic results are in their opinion due above all to the very good standard of sexuological diagnosis, the theoretical background of the Czech sexuological school, to comprehensive therapeutic action, incl. the continuous character of in- and out-patients treatment. Unfavourable features are in their opinion lack of uniformity as regards indications for institutional treatment, gradual abolition or restriction of sexuological departments and the persisting admission of incurable, dangerous delinquents to mental sanatoria and the non-existence of special detention institutes for criminal recidivists.
