Ask Custom Question

I am getting ready to work on a research paper (8 to 10 pages). The topic has to be psychological AND physiological in nature. I have chosen from the DSM-IV under sexual disorders pedophilia.

Any thoughts concerning a possible outline that would encompass both the psychological and physiological aspects of this disorder? For example, I saw an article the other day regarding a pedophile who had a brain tumor removed which resulted in the pedophile desires diminishing. Anyway, I would be interested in hearing some ideas. Once I get it all together I will submit it to you for your further thoughts. What aspects of this would be psychological and physiological is what I am looking for? For example, the role of the limbic system. How do I build on the topic in order to cover 8-10 pages?

Thanks for your help.
