Understanding
Cybersex in 2010
For many
clinicians, sex addiction has appeared as a peripheral, and
perhaps questionable, diagnosis. Recent media hype and the
portrayal of sex addicts in treatment add to that perception.
However, realization is growing that sex addiction is a viable
designation and a treatable illness.

The Tsunami: Adolescents, Technology, and Pornography
Print pornography is a distant option today for teens, as the
Internet is a more powerful, available, and alluring
alternative. It is influencing the way they think, feel, and
behave in the real world and online. Clinicians are already
witnessing the initial waves of this Tsunami as numerous
individuals, young and old, are caught in its path and seeking
professional help.

Supervision
of the Treatment of Sexual Addiction
A discussion
about the importance of transference and counter-transference
issues that might arise between supervisee and client, and
even between supervisee and supervisor, in the context of sex
addiction treatment.

Sex Addict
or Sex Offender?
Clinicians
who specialize in the treatment of sexually compulsive
behavior/sex addiction are often challenged when confronted
with a client who has accessed child pornography, downloaded
images and/or chatted with teenagers. There are important
points regarding risk that need to be taken into account when
a client or partner discloses behaviors regarding the viewing
of child pornography.

Finding
Healthy Sexuality in Recovering Relationships
Couples working to heal from sexual addition have a more
challenging job ahead of them than many individuals working to
move beyond alcohol and chemical addiction. Not only does the
addict’s brain become “hijacked” by the repetitive stimulation
and secretiveness, the spouse or partner is also repetitively
emotionally traumatized by betrayal, secrecy and
lies. Long-term healing requires rebuilding the couple’s
relational system from the ground up.
