The sex addiction movement addresses fundamental human (and therefore clinical) issues: lust, desire, guilt, fantasy, decision-making, and the relationship of love and sex. The answers generated by this model, however, have important limitations—and for many people, they are disastrous, contradicting the best practices of psychotherapy and couples counseling. 

We will examine how patients’ impulsive or seemingly out-of-control sexual behavior may really involve:

• medicating their depression, anxiety, or anhedonia
• an arousal disorder or sexual dysfunction
• denial of a disturbing sexual preference or orientation
• fear of getting too close to a primary partner
• inadequate attraction to or unspoken resentment toward a primary partner
• attempting to remain in a low-sex or no-sex relationship
• unresolved conflict with religious values

How can we best diagnose and treat patients with problematic sexual decision-making?

Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
