on Atypical Sexuality, Pedophilia, and Treatment Issuesby Stephanie J. Dallam, RN, MSN, FNPReference: Dallam, S. J. (1998). Dr. Richard Gardner: A review of his theories and opinions on atypical sexuality, pedophilia, and treatment issues. Treating Abuse Today, 8(1), 15-23.
EXCERPTSTherapy with the Pedophilic Father
"He has to be helped to appreciate that, even today, [pedophilia] is a widespread and accepted practice among literally billions of people."
Gardner (1992, p. 588) does not believe in doing therapy with fathers who deny committing sexual molestation. If father desires treatment, the therapist should focus on enhancing his self-esteem. This is accomplished by helping him to appreciate that "there is a certain amount of pedophilia in all of us" and that "pedophilia has been considered the norm by the vast majority of individuals in the history of the world" (Gardner 1992, pp. 592-3).
He has to be helped to appreciate that, even today, it is a widespread and accepted practice among literally billions of people. He has to appreciate that in our Western society especially, we take a very punitive and moralistic attitude toward such inclinations. He has had a certain amount of back (sic) luck with regard to the place and time he was born with regard to social attitudes toward pedophilia. (Gardner, 1992, p. 593)
In addition to feeling sorry for his own misfortune, the father should be helped to feel pity for the child for having been "a victim in a society that considers his [the father's] behavior a heinous crime and/or a mortal sin" (Gardner 1992, p. 592). If the father feels no guilt, then the therapeutic goal is to increase it. Gardner (1992, p. 594) notes that the father may rationalize that pedophilia is an ancient tradition, a worldwide practice, and that there is nothing at all to be guilty about.
Such fathers have to be helped to appreciate that although what they say on this point is true, this does not justify its practice in our [italics in original] society, even though our society overreacts to it. It is because our society overreacts to it that children suffer. (Gardner, 1992, p. 594-5)
Despite the molesting father's "bad luck" regarding the place and time he was born, he "must learn to control himself if he is to protect himself from the Draconian punishments meted out to those in our society who act out their pedophilic impulses" (Gardner 1992, p. 594). However, therapy with the father should not be spent focusing on the primary problem --sexual molestation. Instead, therapy should be spent "talking about other things" as the goal of therapy is "to help people forget about their problems" (Gardner, 1992, p. 592).
Case Example: The Girl and the Bus Driver
". . . except for a certain amount of sexual frustration that was not gratified … the 4-year-old had not been significantly traumatized by these encounters."
In his book, True and False Accusations of Child Sex Abuse , Gardner (1992, pp. 608-12) provides a case example of his treatment of a 4-year-old child ("Jane") who was the victim of extra-familial child sexual abuse. Jane's mother consulted Gardner because her daughter was sexually acting out. The child later revealed to her mother that she was being molested by her nursery school bus driver. The driver had rearranged her route so that the little girl was the last child dropped off. Prior to taking the child home, the bus driver would park in an abandoned parking lot and sexually molest the child. The mother brought the situation to the attention of the school authorities and the bus driver reluctantly admitted that she had indeed molested the child. The school dismissed the driver. The mother sought Gardner 's opinion on whether she should report the bus driver to the police.
Gardner strongly discouraged reporting the child molester to the police. (According to Gardner , this event happened in the late 1970s -- before mandated reporting.) Gardner states: "I discouraged the mother from doing so with the argument that the child would be subjected to a series of police investigations and might possibly be involved in a criminal trial. Although such reporting might be of some benefit to society, there was no question that Jane herself would be psychologically damaged. Furthermore, I told the mother that it would make it much more difficult for me to treat Jane because such exposures would interfere with the natural desensitization process, would be likely to enhance guilt, and would have other untoward psychological effects." The mother complied and the bus driver was not reported.
Gardner determined that the child had been molested at a frequency of two to three times a week over a period of two to three months. The bus driver would masturbate Jane, but not to orgasm. Gardner (1992, p. 612) concluded that "except for a certain amount of sexual frustration that was not gratified, the 4-year-old had not been significantly traumatized by these encounters."
Comparison of Gardner 's Views with Those of NAMBLA
The North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) is a political, civil rights and educational organization that advocates sex between adult males and male children. Mary De Young (1989), associate professor of sociology at Grand Valley State University , outlined the arguments used by NAMBLA to justify, normalize, and/or rationalize sex between adults and children. NAMBLA members were found to utilize four major strategies: denial of injury; condemnation of the condemners; appeal to higher loyalties; and denial of the victim. Although literature by NAMBLA is not cited by Gardner , similar strategies are mirrored throughout his writings (See Figure 1).
