Welcome to our weekly guide to Radio Netherlands Worldwide's English Service - a list of the new programmes coming up on Radio Netherlands Worldwide this week, beginning on Saturday.
SATURDAY 24 APRIL
*** The State We're In ***
The offender: Jesse White (not his real name) had sexual fantasies about underage girls for years. Then he acted on them, assaulting an 11-year-old girl. Jesse tells Jonathan about how he was arrested and jailed for his crime and how, in prison, he finally started to receive treatment for his disorder.
The treatment: Jesse talks about how intensive therapy and use of anti-libidinal drugs freed him from having sexual thoughts about children. Now he has a job, an age-appropriate girlfriend and hope for the future. All that remains is telling his girlfriend about his past.
The doctor: Dr Paul Federoff is Jesse's clinician. When he first started working with paedophiles, he was told that he couldn't help them, only manage them. Now Dr Federoff says he can "cure" paedophiles and help them lead productive, normal lives.
The eunuch: Bill is not a sex offender. But all his life he was plagued by hyper-masculine sexual behaviour that made him difficult and deeply unhappy. So he decided that he'd be better off without his sex drive. Bill tells Jonathan the story of how and why he castrated himself with an instrument called a Burdizzo.

'Reno' - by Mark Boog
Flemish author Mark Boog says he feels more like a poet than a writer. In his contribution to Radio Books, a lonely and mentally unstable man hates his boring job. Inspired by a song on the radio, he decides to take a day off work and becomes possessed by the notion that either he or the world around him is not real. Should he perform some explosive act to find out which is which?

'A War Requiem' (Orig. Broadcast November 2005)
Huge numbers of men experienced extreme psychological problems after the so-called Great War. Producer Chris Chambers looks at what those symptoms were, why they happened and what the military tried to do about it. The programme also contrasts this with the role of the modern day soldier and how psychiatric practices have changed.
