The National Institute of Health has identified sexual addiction as
a research priority. This volume provides a detailed definition of
sex and love addiction as well as an explicit outline of treatment
and recovery. It uniquely integrates sex and love in its
formulation and presents a two level approach to recovery. This
presentation provides in-depth examples and suggestions for change
and supports the growing involvement of Twelve-Step programs in
mental health. Professionals will find this volume an excellent
resource in their clinical practice. People can be addicted to sex
and/or love and recovery is possible. More than ten years ago the
National Institute of Health identified sexual addiction as a
research priority. Experts now conservatively estimate a prevalence
rate of 5 percent of the American population. Eric Griffin-Shelley
provides a detailed definition of sex and love addiction as well as
an outline of treatment and recovery. Unique to this work,
Griffin-Shelley integrates sex and love in its formulation and also
presents a two-level approach to recovery. This presentation
provides in-depth examples and suggestions for change and supports
the growing involvement of Twelve-Step programs in mental health.
Professionals can use this resource in their clinical practice to
identify and assist sex and love addicts. Griffin-Shelley clearly
describes the behavior of sex and love addicts and the emotions
they may be experiencing. Problems such as multiple addictions (to
drugs, alcohol, food, work) are examined. The book's two-layer
approach to recovery focuses initially on the establishment of
sobriety and then outlines an outer layer of protection that the
sex and love addict can develop to sustain long-term recovery.
Griffin-Shelley's meticulous description of the role of
psychotherapy in aiding the recovery process is clearer than any
book published to date on either sex or love addiction.
