"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). In addition to the members of the professional staff, the program often invites others to participate in treatment, including members of the clergy, probation officers, or attorneys when appropriate to the situation. The treatment team refers out, when necessary, for medication or psychoneurological testing, and highly recommends the complementary use of the 12-step program for sex addicts."--BOOK JACKET.
