Sexual Addiction
Professionals continue to debate whether sexual addiction can be classified and treated in the same realm as chemical addictions; this course will give participants the necessary information and allow them to decide for themselves. The course will contain information on several core concepts: sexual compulsivity, sexual addiction, sexual anorexia, etiology of sexual addiction, aspects of healthy sexuality, assessing sexual addiction, and treating sexual addiction. The inclusion of case material exercises based on clinical knowledge will enhance the depth of this didactic material for participants. Other topics covered include controversies about sexual addiction, family aspects of sexual addiction, modern sexual commerce, and personal/professional barriers in addressing sexual addiction.
The purpose of this course is to provide healthcare professionals the information necessary to conduct a thorough sexual history and allow a clear and nonjudgmental approach to issues surrounding sexuality and sex addiction.
Target Audience
This course is designed for professional clinicians such as counselors, social workers, pastoral counselors, and nurses who would benefit from additional competence on how to assess for sexual addiction and how to make the best referral for care.
Learning Objectives
- Compare the concepts of sexual compulsivity, sexual addiction, and sexual anorexia with identified norms for healthy sexuality.
- Articulate some of the controversies that exist about the concept of sexual addiction.
- Assess for sexual compulsivity, sexual addiction, and sexual anorexia in a presenting client.
- Implement basic strategies for addressing sexual compulsivity, sexual addiction, and sexual anorexia as part of a comprehensive treatment program.
- Identify personal barriers in clinicians that may exist to assessing or treating sexual addiction.
