LevandRenee RoyPopular media, public discourse, and many clinicians are often unclear about the difference between paraphilias and paraphilic disorders. Education about paraphilias and diagnostic criteria is scarce in human sexuality education. Many clinicians are poorly educated about non-normative sexual interests. After a brief history about paraphilias and a background on the need for this information, we supply a lesson plan about paraphilias and paraphilic disorders using diagnostic criteria from the 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM 5). Major concepts included in this lesson are the distinction between paraphilias and paraphilic disorders and the difference between having a paraphilia and acting on it. We offer a section for further reading as well as a resource about paraphilic disorders adapted from the DSM 5.http://ajce.scholasticahq.com/article/17205-teaching-paraphilias-with-the-dsm-5-learning-the-distinction-between-difference-and-disorder.pdf
