Cantor is the Head of Research in the Law and Mental Health Program of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and is called up to consult internationally on the scientific study of paraphilias and sexual offenses. His clinical activities focus on the assessment and treatment of persons dealing with illegal or clinically significant sexual behaviors or interests, including pedophilia and hypersexuality.
