The perpetrators usually did not chase their victims, but those who did were more aggressive. Most exhibitionists touched their genitals and a third of them talked to the victim. The most frequent type of place where the incidents occurred was green spaces. Previous victimization had the strongest impact on the probability of encountering an exhibitionist victims’ habits had no impact. An online survey was completed by 1,075 women, 58.7% of whom had encountered an exhibitionist. The present study aimed to explore the correlates of encountering an exhibitionist, the course of exhibitionist acts, and their impact on the victim. Keywords: exhibitionism, psychoanalytic psychodrama group, sexual difference, playgroup dynamic, case studyĪlthough exhibitionism is thought to be one of the most common sexual offenses, relatively little is known about its victims. Finally, we wonder to what extent providing patients with the opportunity to play out their own story in a therapy, using their own body under the scrutiny of others, may help the exhibitionist to see themself in their own complexity.
We then examine whether psychodrama is a tool that can be used to illuminate Fernand’s fantasies hidden behind his exhibitionist act. We show how exhibitionism can condense, externalize, and project on to others, the enigmas of sex and generational differences. The treatment revealed that Fernand was desperately seeking attention: from others, thanks to his professional skills as a repairman but also and especially, in a transgressive way, through his exhibitionism. Then we study the case of Fernand, an exhibitionist. First, we describe our therapeutic setting: a psychoanalytic psychodrama group. More specifically, we focus on the question of exhibitionism. This article examines a therapeutic experience with sexual offenders as part of compulsory treatment.
