    Seriously???
  

*by B***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2019*

I am a licensed therapist & have been in SA Addiction Recovery for years.  The authors neglect to consider - or even mention - Trauma, which in my mind is an abomination as it is an imperative to understanding the genesis for many people (I could wax on that alone for a few paragraphs).  In addition, the authors do an injustice to readers & an understanding of the addiction by leaving a dearth where science is necessary (this includes research, studies, physiological states, neurobiological features) for clarification, explication, and elucidation.  This book is a pontification of Talk Therapy, which is by no means novel.  For the novice read "Out...Shadows" by Carnes.  To the intermediate practitioner, check out Doug Weiss' work.  And, personally, I think Alexandria Katehakis "Sex Addiction as Affect Dysregulation" is brilliant.  Finally, I would intimate that this is a sales pitch just regurgitating something Carl Roger's put on the map:  the importance of the therapeutic alliance.  However, if you want to put all of your marbles in that bag, fine.  Just realize you will be spending a lot of time with these dudes (and their pseudo-groups), which guarantees only one thing:  more money out of your pocket.  There is benefit with strength in numbers as enumerated much better in Katehakis' work.  However, if you buy' the notion that SA Treatment can be boiled down to very simplistic, rigid, steps..then this may be the book for you.  I however think it is much more complicated and nuanced in nature.  Get some EMDR / Brainspotting for your Traumas; see a practitioner for Somatic Work & Body Work.  Let these clowns be the side-show, or should I say the freak show.  I would ask for a refund but I refuse to keep this work in my possession.  End.  Done.

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2018*

Doug Braun-Harvey and Michael Vigorito are cleaning up the mess that sex addiction treatment has made in our culture.As a former sex addiction therapist for 25 years I can tell the public that there’s no required sex therapy training nor information and sexual health included in any of the formal training is on sex addiction. One has to go outside the industry and look for sexual health information and once I did so I realized how harmful and negligent the sex addiction model truly is.Sex addiction is act-centered putting somebody at odds with their erotic orientation.Braun-Harvey and Vigorito’s “Out-of-control Sexual Behavior” model is principal centered letting the clients determine for themselves with sexual health is and is not for them. It is not up to the therapist or any type of treatment model that should decide this for each individual person.Don’t confuse sex therapy with sex addiction treatment.  Sex addiction therapists are not sex therapists. At best they are trained trauma therapists and addictionologists but far from being qualified to treat sexual health related issues.This book is timely and truly necessary.

    A Very Well Rounded Book for Problematic or Out of Control Sexual Behavior
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2019*

I've been wanting to read this book for some time, and finally was able to commit some time to reading this. This book is very well thought out and laid out. Although it's on a controversial topic, this book does a great job laying out several differing perspectives. A saying in qualitative research is that there are no outliers and this is because outliers give you critical information and make you critically look at the topic that you're discussing as well as your biases. In a book like this, those outliers really seemed to be focused on and considered, which makes it more well rounded.I think those who have a lot of history with various continuing education in attachment, sexuality, relationships, and compulsive sexual behavior may feel that a lot of this book is review. That's not really a criticism though as these things are difficult to tie together in a well rounded way in a book. However, if you're a CSAT or a sexual health professional and you're looking for ways to help people who are struggling with out of control sexual behavior, or you're needing a good book to get you some good in depth information on a controversial topic in the field, this is a wonderful resource.
