Sex addiction

by Earle, Ralph

Sex addiction - whether among socially responsible individuals or sex offenders - is receiving increased attention in our society today. Sex Addiction: Case Studies and Management is based on a highly innovative therapeutic program for sex addicts and their families that has been developed by the authors over many years. It is grounded in the view of sex addiction as a very complex problem that requires a multidimensional approach. The program - customized to meet the needs of different sex-addicted individuals and their families - features a well-coordinated team of therapists who specialize in a variety of treatment modalities. These include the treatment of those with addictions, sex offenders, and victims of sexual abuse; couples therapy; family therapy; group therapy; the expressive therapies; sex therapy; child therapy when applicable; and "edu-therapy" (to explain the addictive cycle, the effects of abuse on the addict's victims, and how to improve communication skills).
