About this study
Official title: Descriptive Study on the Impact of Covid-19 Lockdown on Deviant Sexual Fantasies
Our society is going through an unprecedented situation: the COVID 19 Pandemic is forcing many populations, worldwide, into confinement for their own protection. The very characteristics of this confinement and of the disease (isolation, potential severity of the illness, being psychologically unprepared for such a circumstance) have a significant impact on one's psyche, like emotional disorders -anxiety/depression-, difficulties when returning to normal life, vicarious traumas… Confinement is paradoxical in as although well-intended to protect the individual, it leads to the isolation of the individual. This paradox is destabilizing one's feelings, because when the investigators feel the need for protection and reassurance, the investigators are left alone and feel abandoned. The investigators therefore understand that this confinement framework is in essence a situation that might revive unresolved deprivation situations from the childhood. How to react in front of this upsurge in anxiety? Strategies used may include, among others, escape in the imaginary through numerical tools or others, and /or going to the actual characterized by deviant sexual behaviours. The investigators know in fact that certain moments, like anxiety, depression, boredom, psychological unrest are propicious for acting, for violent sexual offenders. The investigators therefore pay extra attention to our patients in such periods favoring these kinds of trouble.
This study will enable us to understand if the confinement associated with COVID 19 has generated anxiety that lead sexual offenders or individuals with paraphilic disorders to engage into deviant fantasies or, potentially sexual activities.
Read the detailed description
The questionnaire is handed only one time to each patient and the questions it contains are part of those commonly used.
How do the investigators precisely operate: self questionnaire on paper, handed to each patient followed by the CRIAVS in the waiting room, and returned by the patient to the therapist, or the department, in a sealed envelope. Digital data collection thereafter.

Intensity of deviant fantasies
Likert scale from 0 to 10
Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Frequency of deviant fantasies
Likert scale from 0 to 10
Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Occurrence of sexual act
Number given by the patient
Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Access mode for deviant fantasies

Evaluating anxiety/depression level
HAD Hospital Anxiety And Depression Scale The HAD scale is an instrument for detecting anxiety and depressive disorders. It has 14 listed items from 0 to 3.

- 8 to 10: doubtful symptomatology - 11 and more: certain symptomatology.
Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year
