Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder: Understanding, Assessment, and Treatment

Description

"Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder: Understanding, Assessment, and Treatment is the first book to explore the new ICD-11 diagnosis, which, although controversial, is useful in defining, categorizing, and classifying sexual behavior that causes anguish and distress. Edited by clinicians at the forefront of the field, the book prioritizes both clinical utility and relevant research. After an introduction, which offers much-needed context, the book compares sex addiction and compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) by reviewing proposed criteria for both conditions, examines the associations between CSBD and substance use and other addictive disorders, and then moves to a chapter on CSBD and the internet, offering clinically-based insights on how to work with patients who engage compulsively in online sexual activities. The volume then proceeds to the diagnosis of hypersexual or compulsive sexual behavior in both ICD-11 and DSM-5 and describes best practices for making a comprehensive evaluation, including conducting the clinical interview and the use of relevant assessment tools. This is followed by a review of the different pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches available to treating clinicians. Special topics include a discussion of existing research on compulsive sexual behavior in women-an area of inquiry that has been badly neglected-as well as the forensic aspects and associated risks of hypersexuality and the religious and cultural influences related to CSBD. Hypersexuality afflicts many, disrupting lives and hampering true intimacy. Drawing on cutting-edge research and clinical wisdom, Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder: Understanding, Assessment, and Treatment equips practitioners to engage and treat these complex cases"-- Cover Half Title Title Copyright Contents Contributors Foreword 1 Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder From: Myths to Reality 2 Sexual Addiction vs. CSBD 3 Compulsive Sexual Behavior and Substance Use Disorders 4 The Internet and CSBD 5 Diagnostic Aspects of CSBD DSM and Beyond 6 Clinical Evaluation of CSBD 7 Pharmacotherapy for Patients With CSBD 8 Psychotherapies in the Treatment of CSBD 9 CSBD in Women 10 Forensic Aspects of Hypersexuality 11 Hypersexuality and Sexual Compulsivity: Behavioral/Sexual Risks and Risks of Sexually Transmitted Diseases 12 Religious and Cultural Influences of CSBD Index A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T U V W Back Cover
