Many treatment programs and professional training efforts have
been developed in the past five years for sexual compulsiveness and
love dependencies. This work includes a description of an intensive
outpatient therapy program that is designed to treat the sexually
addicted patient. Initially, these patients had been treated with
individual psychotherapy and attendance at Sex and Love Addicts
Anonymous meetings. While this approach seemed to work for some,
many needed a more intensive therapeutic intervention to help them
identify and maintain bottom line behaviors and to begin the
recovery process from this difficult addiction.
A program was designed with the following elements:
psychoeducational groups, same-sex group psychotherapy, and 12-Step
meetings. Some of these educational sessions have covered: adult
sexuality, self-esteem, communication skills, shame, depression,
cross addictions, healthy relationships, the addiction cycle, and
so on. In addition to lectures there are group and dyad/triad
discussions, role playing, and psychodrama. This is followed by
traditional group therapy, although groups are limited to the same
sex. At the end of the intensive evening program, there is a
meeting of Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) that is open to
the public. This is the only book that addresses diagnostic,
neurochemical, and treatment issues of sexual compulsivity in such
depth.
