Abstract

THe treatment of sexual deviates', a difficult and relatively unexplored area in psychiatry, has been stimulated in recent years. by the enactment of "sexual psychopath" laws in 15 states and the District of Columbia2. California in 1950 amended its 'sex psychopath law to provide for treatment of sexual offenders in two of its state hospitals. This is a report of treatment program undertaken at the Mendocino State Hospital during the year September 19 5 O to September .1951, involving 75 patients convicted of sexual offenses, ranging from incest to lewd and lascivious conduct, who were regularly committed under this law to the hospital.
