What is the cause of paraphilic disorders? They are likely the result of the social and environmental, psychological, and biological factors, thus a combination of all. Therapists have found paraphilic disorder to be difficult to treat. Most people who are treated are convicted sex offenders, who have the most severe paraphilias, while those with milder paraphilic disorders go untreated. Multi-faceted approaches that are used include enhancing social and sexual skills to assist recovery. But prevention has been shown to be the best approach.
