The Personality of a Child Molester argues two main points. The
first is that dreams, without free associations or amplification or
knowledge of the dreamer, can shed considerable light upon the
essential character structure, psychodynamics, and psychosexual
development of such individuals. The second is that the frequency
of occurrence of a dream element or theme is a direct measure of
the preoccupation with that topic in waking life. Bell and Hall
gather their evidence from a wide assortment of data. Such evidence
helps increase our understanding of such people, whose life and
self-revelations on first appearance seem to merit this special
attention. Interestingly, their study involved little collaboration
on the part of the authors. In fact, the authors only met each
other two years after the project got underway. At that time they
reached an understanding as to how the material would be presented.
They decided to demonstrate child molesters' dream content from a
theoretical perspective. The theoretical base provided by Freudian
theory was used in this particular study because it seemed to
provide the kinds of constructs that could be useful in describing
the dreamer's personality. The authors attempt to explain why the
dreamer who is a child molester is the sort of person he is, and
his dreams are the source of evidence for the explanation
presented. This study presented here has been used by behavioral
researchers for years in trying to understand the personality of a
child molester. It remains as relevant today as when it was
initially published.
