Abstract
ABSTRACT The Society for Advancement of Sexual Health (SASH) formed a committee to developing a working definition of sexual health for review by the executive board. The process of developing a definition, not based primarily on the absence of dysfunction or disease, encouraged review of some definitions, descriptions, and visions of the World Health Organization (WHO) and several professional associations. The result of the committee's efforts was a working definition for ongoing review and commentary.
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.
