Abstract
Abstract To examine the effectiveness of a combination treatment for hypersexual disorder (HD), using regular involvement with a 12-step program related to sexual behavior and weekly individual psychotherapy, this qualitative study recruited volunteers with minimum three-year concurrent experience of the two interventions and minimum two-year abstinence from unwanted sexual behavior. Transcript analysis of interviews with four participants revealed the strength of 12-step meeting attendance and active involvement with a sponsor. The analysis further revealed the complementary benefit of individual psychotherapy, including inherent tension between the two interventions. The discussion section addresses, among other things, the clinical importance to treat clients’ dysregulation.
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.
