Main Article Content
This article is a reflexive text that explores theoretically the viability of applying the Dunkelfeld Project in Colombia. Such project is a strategy created in Germany in which pedophiles and sexual aggressors provide primary attention with the aim of reducing child sexual abuse (CSA). First, the problem of CSA is presented, along with the need for an integral program that considers and addresses the aggressors. Second, the Dunkelfeld project is presented taking into account the approach and achievements of the program. Once the project is presented, we address the psychological and psychiatrical approaches (clinical, forensic and legal) of, as well as the need for support from of the media to be able to effectively develop the program in Colombia. In conclusion the program may be viable in the country, nevertheless, a great inter-institutional and inter-professional support is needed. Also, it must be clarified to the general population that the program is not an apology of CSA or pedophilia, on the contrary, it seeks to reduce teen and child abuse.
