Editing Paraphilia (section)

=== DSM-I and DSM-II ===
In American psychiatry, prior to the publication of the DSM-I, paraphilias were classified as cases of "[[psychopathic]] personality with pathologic sexuality". The DSM-I (1952) included sexual deviation as a [[personality disorder]] of [[Antisocial personality disorder|sociopathic]] subtype. The only diagnostic guidance was that sexual deviation should have been "reserved for deviant sexuality which [was] not symptomatic of more extensive syndromes, such as [[schizophrenic]] or obsessional reactions". The specifics of the disorder were to be provided by the clinician as a "supplementary term" to the sexual deviation diagnosis; there were no restrictions in the DSM-I on what this supplementary term could be.<ref>Laws and, O'Donohue (2008) pp. 384–385 citing DSM-I pp. 7, 38–39</ref> Researcher [[Anil Aggrawal]] writes that the now-obsolete DSM-I listed examples of supplementary terms for pathological behavior to include "homosexuality, [[transvestism]], [[pedophilia]], [[Sexual fetishism|fetishism]], and [[sexual sadism]], including [[rape]], [[sexual assault]], mutilation."<ref>{{Cite book|last=Aggrawal|first=Anil|author-link=Anil Aggrawal|year=2008|title=Forensic and Medico-legal Aspects of Sexual Crimes and Unusual Sexual Practices|page=47|chapter=Chapter 2: Pedophillia and Child Sexual Abuse|publisher=[[CRC Press]]|location=Boca Raton, Florida|isbn=978-1-4200-4308-2}}</ref>

The DSM-II (1968) continued to use the term ''sexual deviations'', no longer ascribed them under personality disorders but rather alongside them in a broad category titled "personality disorders and certain other nonpsychotic mental disorders". The types of sexual deviations listed in the DSM-II were: sexual orientation disturbance (homosexuality), fetishism, pedophilia, transvestitism, [[exhibitionism]], [[voyeurism]], [[sadistic personality disorder|sadism]], [[masochism]], and "other sexual deviation". No definition or examples were provided for "other sexual deviation" but the general category of sexual deviation was meant to describe the sexual preference of individuals that was "directed primarily toward objects other than people of opposite sex, toward sexual acts not usually associated with [[coitus]], or toward coitus performed under bizarre circumstances, as in [[necrophilia]], pedophilia, sexual sadism, and fetishism."<ref>Laws and, O'Donohue (2008) p. 385 citing DSM-II p. 44</ref> Except for the removal of homosexuality from the DSM-III onwards, this definition provided a general standard that has guided specific definitions of paraphilias in subsequent DSM editions, up to DSM-IV-TR.<ref name="Laws and, O'Donohue 2008 p. 386">Laws and O'Donohue (2008) p. 386</ref>
