| Abstrakt: | This article reviewed the available studies of treatments for individuals suffering from sexual addiction. Sexual addiction may affect as many as 3–5% of all Americans and can result in dire consequences for those affected. Because the existence of sexual addiction remains controversial, this problem has been understudied. A search of five databases for peer-reviewed studies revealed a dearth of empirical studies on targeted treatments for sexual addiction. The treatment modalities that have been studied are primarily modified cognitive behavioral techniques, as well as expressive and exposure techniques. Seven studies were selected for this review. The studies had several methodological weaknesses, with two showing promising outcomes. More research is needed in the area of sexual addiction. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
