Freund, Kurt; Blanchard, Ray
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v57 n1 p100-05 Feb 1989
Investigated sensitivity/specificity of phallometric test for pedophilia and hebephilia. Total samples were 154 men accused of sexual offenses against minors and 56 men accused of sexual offenses against adult women. Concluded that sensitivity of test in detecting pedophilia or hebephilia in complete nonadmitters is probably greater than or equal to 55 percent. Specificity appears to be over 95 percent.
