Clinical Guide for the Treatment of Male Sexual Addiction: Syllabus for a Group Program with Recovery From Sexual Addiction Books - Tapa blanda

The book, Clinical Guide for the Treatment of Male Sexual Addiction, will facilitate therapists' use of the books, Recovery from Sexual Addiction: a Man's Guide, and the accompanying Workbook in individual therapy or a group program. The guide may serve as a syllabus for a Sex Addiction Therapy Group program. It supports clinical therapists by providing insightful guidance and interventions to help men who wish to end addictive sexual behaviors. The program objective is to lead men through a structured clinical process to help them become aware and understand the complex factors that contribute to sexual addiction and steps they can take to achieve long-term recovery. Unwanted sexual behavior and addiction have become rampant in today's society, largely through the availability of Internet pornography. For example, Family Safe Media reports that 40 million men regularly visit Internet pornography sites. It is so insidious that when a man looks to his left and then to his right he will likely encounter a man for whom pornography is a major problem in his home. Increasingly therapists will need clinical knowledge in order to work with sexually-addicted men as well as with couples in marital counseling where the male is sexually addicted. The book Clinical Guide for the Treatment of Male Sexual Addiction, is intended to guide therapist's efforts to serve this growing population.

His recent book, Why Is My Partner Sexually Addicted?: Insight Women Need, provides women, who find their partners have strayed from the marriage contract, with an understanding of the why and how of his addiction and choices women have for moving forward. Men who are sexually-addicted tell themselves lies, including, “nobody will find out,” and, “I am not hurting anyone.” In time, lies are exposed as a man’s life becomes increasingly out of control.
