Abstract
ABSTRACT This is the first study in Iran to explore the facilitators of and barriers to compulsive sexual behavior from the perspectives of Iranian women. This qualitative study using the conventional content analysis approach was conducted in two urban areas of Iran. Data collection was performed using 31 in-depth individual interviews and three group interviews. It was found that facilitators were “family structure and strict rules,” “personal capacity and vulnerability,” “needs and motivations,” and “cultural and value factors.” In addition, barriers were “positive opportunities,” “appropriate education and positive role models.”
期刊介绍:
Now being understood and treated as a significant and widespread disorder, sexual addiction and compulsivity is an enormously complex problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach from psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, family therapists, pastoral counselors, and law enforcement personnel. The first and only journal devoted to topics pertaining to this growing illness, Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for research and clinical practice. As the source for information in this expanding new field, this journal will give practicing clinicians useful and innovative strategies for intervention and treatment from the necessary multidisciplinary perspective.
