Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Sexual addiction takes many forms, from obsessions with pornography and masturbation to engaging in voyeurism, cybersex, affairs, sex with strangers, incest, and rape. Though solitary forms of this addition may not be overtly risky, they can be part of a pattern of distorted thinking and identity conflict that can escalate to involve harming the self and others. The defining elements of this kind of addiction are its secrecy and escalating nature, often resulting in diminished judgment and self-control. Carnes's thinking is intellectually sound, his writing seamless. The somber tone of Janet Fontaine's excellent reading is a good fit for the material, which has the quality of a compassionate cautionary tale. This superb audio presentation will be useful to ordinary listeners, graduate students, and all types of health professionals.

Product Description
We recommend Partrick Carne's Out of the Shadows..
to every sex addict and codependent we treat.. This (book
provides) a tremendously powerful experience, helping both
sex addicts and codependents realize that they are not alone
and not destined to eternally be at the mercy of the disease.
Dr. Ralph Earle and Dr. Gregory Crow, Lonely All the Time

"Out of the Shadows has become a guidebook for sufferers and
counselors alike."
Roda Salter, Keene Sentinel

Sex is at the core of our identities. And when it becomes a compulsion, it can unravel our lives.

Out of the Shadows is the premier work on this disorder, written by a pioneer in its treatment. Revised and updated to include the latest research--and to address the exploding phenomenon of cybersex addiction--this third edition identifies the danger signs, explains the dynamics, and describes the consequences of sexual addiction and dependency. With practical wisdom and spiritual clarity, it points the way out of the shadows of sexual compulsion and back into the light and fullness of life.
