Description:... A psychoanalyst in private practice describes the biological, sociocultural, and psychoanalytic theories of sexual addiction and integrates them into a coherent approach. He then discusses diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, relevant epidemiological data, and treatment modalities for sexual addiction and related conditions. He presents details of five clinical vignettes. Psychiatrists and other mental health professionals are the intended readers, but other professionals may also be interested.
