description: "Helmut Kentler was a German psychologist, sexologist and professor of social education at the University of Hannover. From the late 1960s until the early 1990s, with the authorization and financial support of the Berlin Senate, Kentler placed several neglected youth as foster children in the homes of single pedophile fathers. Kentler believed pedophiles could make acceptable foster parents, and that any sexual contact would be relatively harmless if it were not forced. This project was later dubbed the \"Kentler Experiment\" or the \"Kentler Project.\" Kentler later changed his mind on pedophiles having sexual contact with children, and described pedophilia as a \"sexual disorder\"."
