Onlangs bezocht ik twee congressen en daar is wel iets over te vertellen.

New articles added since 2012. Both lists give author, article, short summary and a link to the articles on the website of JON: < http://www.jorisoost.nl >.
This group, later two groups, has practisized, further developped and funded (in science and philosophy) the methodology of the self-help groups. Because the group is a Dutch group, the Dutch list is longer than the English list.

Mensen die zich seksueel aangetrokken voelen tot kinderen (voor en/of tijdens de puberteit)stuiten op grenzen en problemen als ze hulp zoeken in de geestelijke gezondheidszorg. Dit overzicht wil de kloof tussen hun behoeften aan en ervaringen met de zorg die hen wil helpen. [... ... ...]

Walker, Allyn: yn: A Long Dark Shadow; Univer; University of California Press, 2021

My research participants were all minor-attracted people who refrained from any sexual contact with minors, all of whom were dedicated to living lives free of offending. This book is about them: how they form identities as minor-attracted idividuals, how they cope with the stigma they face from society. and how they strategize not to commit offenses.
I use the terms "minor attracted person" and "MAP" throughout the majority of this book ... as an established umbrella term ... with a less stigmatizing nature.
I am writing this book with two main foci - the prevention of child abuse and the promotion of wellbeing among MAPs - because protecting children is important, because MAPs are people who deserve compassion (bold is chosen by Ipce), and because these foci are not contradictairy. It is possible that treating MAPs with empathy is the key (Bold is chosen by Ipce).
Chapter 1 is titled as "Am I a Monster?" The start of the closing word of the book reads: In each interview I asked participants what they would say to a MAP who was just beginning to realize they were attracted to minors. Far and away, the most common response was "You are not a monster."
It has been my goal with this book to make clear the distinction between MAPs and sexual offenders, and to reaffirm that attractions are not equivalent to action. While the MAPs I spoke to in the course of my research often had experienced many struggles, many were able to find happiness, understanding, and the dignity they had been searching for. They found this dignity through the ability to be seen by others and to have their wellbeing recognized as important, through the knowledge that there were other people out there like them, and through validation that they were not destined to become monsters just because of their attractions.

Anton Nootenboom: ‘Praten, dat vinden wij mannen moeilijk’  
Freek Schravesande - NRC, 21 juni 2022
Anton Nootenboom (35) leerde in het leger houden van afzien, maar onderdrukte te lang zijn emoties. Als The Barefoot Dutchman liep hij grote afstanden om aandacht te vragen voor mentale problemen bij mannen. „Ik had op dat gebied geen weerstand opgebouwd.”
[... ... ... ...]
„Ik ben aan de slag gegaan als spreker op scholen en bij bedrijven, om te vertellen dat het tonen van emoties geen zwakte is maar juist moedig. En dat wij mannen een veilige ruimte voor elkaar moeten creëren om erover te praten. Want zelfmoord onder mannen is ook hier een probleem.” . 
 
Experiences with treatment 
In this section people will tell about their experiences with treatment. 
Here, they tell there own narrative. In treatment centers, however, it is usually not allowed to tell one's own and real narrative: one has to tell a politically more correct version of it. Thus, we begin with an article. Then, we give the narratives of people about their experiences with treatment.

Excuse me and my pc for the Dutch text that appears in the navigation buttons: 
"Omhoog"   = "Up"
"Vorige"      = "Back"
"Volgende" = "Next"
I could not change it, so in that case you learn some Dutch words...
