Abstract
This is a survey of over 60 defendants who were indicted on charges of sexual offenses in the County of New York and who were referred for comprehensive psychodiagnostic evaluation atthe psychology unit of the Forensic Psychiatry Clinic. Only a small segment of the sample was found to be suffering from organic central nervous system impairment or to be of subnormal intellectual endowment.
