I don't see what needs to be accomplished through DMs. I'm just looking for a single citation to back the evidence based conclusion that pedophiles are more likely to offend after recieving treatment.

you and i both know there is not a 'single citation'; here is a decent article about how mental health professionals can get pulled in by psychopaths and sex offenders;

https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/oak-ridge-st-thomas-psychiatric-treatment

group treatment was started in the 1970s, and follow-up revealed higher rates of offending. i might try to dig out the exact study but it's 1.55am in my timezone.

but this was a surprise to early therapists and researchers, just as 'expresed emotion' was to treatments of schizophrenia in family settings.

this is what an evidence-base is, reviewing what we know, and sometimes this goes against what we might expect.

therapists want to do good; it's a shock when a given clinical population throw that back.
