Book Description

1583913610 978-1583913611 October 4, 2002 1
This is the first comprehensive volume of the clinical management of sex addiction. Collecting the work of 28 leaders in this emerging field, the editors provide a long-needed primary text about how to approach treatment with these challenging patients. The book serves as an excellent introduction for professionals new to the field as well as serving as a useful reference tool. The contributors are literally the pioneers of one of the last frontiers of addiction medicine and sex therapy.

With a growing awareness of sex addiction as a problem, plus the advent of cybersex compulsion, professional clinicians are being confronted with sexual compulsion with little clinical or academic preparation. This is the first book distilling the experience of the leaders in this emerging field. With a focus on special populations, it also becomes a handy problem-solving tool. Readable, concise, and filled with useful interventions, it is a key text for a problem clinicians must be able to identify. It is destined to be a classic reference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good overview, December 15, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Clinical Management of Sex Addiction (Hardcover)
I am relatively new to treating sexual addictions. I thought this book had a lot of good information in it. It was well-written, too, not dry as cornflakes as some clinical books are. Glad it is on my shelf.
