University of Stellenbosch. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Dept. of Psychology. Interpersonal relations Child molesters -- Psychology Pedophilia -- Psychological aspects Dissertations -- Psychology Theses -- Psychology Thesis (MSc (Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. There is a growing need for research to facilitate a better understanding of paedophilia. This study aims to make a contribution in this regard by providing an analysis of current discourses in paedophilia research as well as a phenomenological exploration of how the male paedophile constructs his close relationships with children. Analysis reveals how the dominant positivist approach to paedophilia research embeds and perpetuates moral and often prejudicial positions that in turn influence the validity of empirical findings and theory, and tend to marginalise contradictory evidence. In an attempt to circumvent these obstacles, it is argued that the psychological need to form close relationships is a universal one.
