Psychogenic inventory by B. Karpman, M.D.


A psychogenic inventory is the general guideline, an evolving method, individual to each psychiatric professional, which is the basis for psychological analysis.
Benjamin Karpman's psychogenic inventory includes 312 questions (the actual number of questions is greater, the 312 question inventory which is presented here is a condensed version of the actual inventory -- and the inventory, even in full form, is only a guideline and does not include those questions which would be prepared for each individual case), and require the most thorough investigation of all forms of sexual deviance or disorder for the purpose of determining the motivations and psychic state of the offender.
