          Abstract

          Adotando-se os critérios legais de estupro (artigo 213 do Código Penal Brasileiro) como delimitações para essa conduta ou sintoma interpessoal, a finalidade desse estudo foi a de investigar características da personalidade de indivíduos responsabilizados criminalmente por estupros incestuosos. Participaram do estudo três adultos do sexo masculino, com semelhantes condições sociais, demográficas e educacionais, presos em uma penitenciária do estado de São Paulo pelos estupros das filhas biológicas. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista e do Método de Rorschach, no Sistema Compreensivo de Exner (2003). Para a análise dos resultados foram selecionadas as seguintes variáveis: defensividade, autopercepção, capacidade de autocontrole, relacionamentos e percepção interpessoal, afeto e processos cognitivos aplicados na adaptação à realidade social. Ainda que estupradores não se constituam como um grupo homogêneo e que não haja um padrão de características universais que os represente, os principais resultados permitiram constatar a insuficiência de recursos subjetivos aplicados à percepção de si mesmos e à percepção do outro, dados que foram convergentes com os comumente retratados na literatura sobre psicologia de agressores sexuais.

          Translated abstract

          Taking into consideration the legal criteria related to rape (Brazilian Penal Code) as guidelines for this kind of conduct or interpersonal symptom, the objective of this study was to investigate the personality characteristics of individuals criminally responsible for incestuous raping. Participants were three male inmates, with similar social, demographic and educational levels, imprisoned at a State correctional institution in São Paulo for raping their biological daughters. The data were gathered through interviews and Rorschach Method, as Exner's (2003) Comprehensive System. To the analysis of the results the following variables were selected: defensiveness, self-perception, capacity for self-control, relationships and interpersonal perception, affect, and cognitive processing applied to social reality adaptation. Even though rapists do not constitute a homogeneous group and there are no standard universal characteristics that represent them, the main results showed evidence of their limitation on subjective resources applied to self-perception and perception of the others. It was convergent with common data found in the literature regarding the psychology of sexual aggressors.

          Psychopathology and personality characteristics of criminal sexual offenders as a function of victim age.

          The affective, personality and psychopathological characteristics of incarcerated adult sex offenders was studied. Subjects were 144 men divided into three groups based on the age of their victims: prepubescent children, postpubescent adolescents, and adults. Results indicated significant differences between groups in trait anxiety and anger, self-esteem, and 7 of 13 MMPI scales. Results suggest a linear relationship between victim age and psychopathology, with child offenders displaying the greatest affective and thought disturbance. Adolescent offenders scored between child and adult offenders on most measures. Results are discussed in the context of theoretical explanations for sexual aggression and treatment.

              A Rorschach Investigation of Sexual Homicide

              A sample of incarcerated sexual homicide perpetrators (n = 18) were compared to a sample of non-sexually offending but violent male psychopaths (n = 23) on select Rorschach variables using the Comprehensive System (Exner, 1991). Results suggest that sexual homicide perpetrators are similar to psychopaths in their attachment abnormality, characterological anger, pathological narcissism, moderate and pervasive formal thought disorder, and borderline reality testing. They are distinguished, however, by a more frequent affectional hunger, a tendency to engage in more dysphoric rumination, and abnormal elevations of nonvolitional ideation (obsessional thoughts) due to unmet instinctual need states. They also show a greater interest in others as whole, real, and meaningful objects. Five psychodynamic factors, supported by the empirical findings, are proposed to partially explain the intrapsychic mechanisms involved in an act of sexual homicide.
