Psychological treatment of problematic sexual interests: cross-country comparison
This paper reviews the use of psychotherapeutic approaches to treat individuals who have committed sex crimes and/or have problematic sexual interests (PSI); including types of psychotherapy used, descriptions of preventive and reintegration programs and highlighting specific theoretical controversies. In the second part, experts from Canada, Czech Republic, Russia, United Kingdom, and the United States, who participated in an International Consensus Meeting held in Prague (2017), summarize treatment programs in their countries. The comparison revealed some general findings: each country has variability between its own programs; most countries have different programs for people who are in custody and who are in the community; the state-directed treatment programs are primarily focused on criminal individuals while non-criminal individuals are treated in preventive programs and/or in special clinics or are non-treated; the presence of PSI in patients/clients is acknowledged in most programs, although specific programs exclusively for individuals with PSI rarely exist. Studies on effectiveness are difficult to compare due to methodologic, political and cultural differences. Further communication between more countries to share knowledge about successful treatments and preventive approaches is needed, especially enhanced international collaboration between researchers and clinicians to verify the effectiveness of current clinical and experimental programs

The pharmacologic treatment of problematic sexual interests, paraphilic disorders and sexual preoccupation in adult men who have committed a sexual offence
This paper provides an international perspective on the use of medications to treat problematic sexual interests, paraphilic disorders and sexual preoccupation in men who have committed a sexual offence. Experts from Canada, Czech Republic (CR), Russia, United Kingdom (UK), and the United States of America (US) met in Prague, CR in May 2017 to review and compare their treatment approaches. This report is a summary of their discussions, including empirical data from CR and Russia which have not previously been published in the English language. All participants agreed that continuing international collaboration would be very useful for the development of ethical international prescribing guidelines, as well as pooling data from studies on the efficacy and utility of pharmacological and other biological treatments for people who have committed sexual offences
Testing effects of partner support and use of oral contraception during relationship formation on severity of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy
Background A recent study focusing on dietary predictors of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) found that women with higher levels of partner support, and those who had used oral contraception (OC) when they met the father, both tended to report less severe NVP compared with previous non-users or those with less supportive partners. We provide a further test of these factors, using a large sample of women from four countries who retrospectively scored their NVP experience during their first pregnancy. Methods We recruited women who had at least one child to participate in a retrospective online survey. In total 2321 women completed our questionnaire including items on demographics, hormonal contraception, NVP, and partner support. We used general linear models and path analysis to analyse our data. Results Women who had used OC when they met the father of their first child tended to report lower levels of NVP, but the effect size was small and did not survive adding the participant’s country to the model. There was no relationship between NVP and partner support in couples who were still together, but there was a significant effect among those couples that had since separated: women whose ex-partner had been relatively supportive reported less severe NVP. Additional analyses showed that women who were older during their first pregnancy reported less severe NVP, and there were also robust differences between countries. Conclusions These results provide further evidence for multiple influences on women’s experience of NVP symptoms, including levels of perceived partner support
The influence of oral hormonal contraceptive use on female sexuality: the evolutionary perspective
The proposed thesis is comprised of eleven papers connected by the employment of the evolutionary psychological approach in research on various aspects of human sexuality. The aim of the first monothematic part is to demonstrate the evolutionary-psychological approach to one recent phenomenon in female sexuality - the use of oral contraceptives (OC). OC use has been shown to suppress psychological mechanisms that are considered to be adaptive in the fertile period of the natural menstrual cycle. In particular, OC users' ratings of male stimuli that provide the cues of genetic quality and compatibility are lower in comparison with normally cycling women. Moreover, the increase in sexual desire and in the prevalence of proceptive behaviour observed during mid-cycle in normally cycling women is diminished. However, the impact of this phenomenon on mate-choice and relationship dynamics in an ecological context has not been studied. In the first study, we have analyzed the data of Czech women obtained via representative sampling within the Czech National Survey of Sexual Behavior. Results indicated that normally cycling women had a significantly higher number of one-night stands during the last year in comparison to OC users even when living in a long-term relationship. OC usage was also shown to have..
