“Rehab” for sexual deviancy is a way for the psychiatric community to convince themselves and others that they actually DO something productive. While the medication for mental illness has grown leaps and bounds, the actual ‘treatment’ for sexual sadism and rape just doesn’t work. You cannot talk someone into stopping what is an uncontrollable urge. Therefore, removal from society is the only option. Either by prison or death.
Closeted psychiatrists "rehabbed" homosexuality right out of the list of deviant behaviors.
Even the idea of an "uncontrollable" urge is one of the results of psychiatry. Dr. Anthony Daniels has written several books (under the pen name of Theodore Dalrymple) based on his experience as a prison doctor in Great Britain, and concludes that "addictive" behavior is merely habit sanctioned by psychiatry. Apparently "medical knowledge" is just as culture-bound today as it was in Ancient Rome.
