Conceptualising and Treating Sex Addiction

In this course, Dr. Amanda Giordano, Associate Professor at University of Georgia, explains the basics of behavioural addiction (including its cycle) and describes what constitutes sex addiction – and what is not sex addiction, differentiating it from sex offending. Giordano shares compelling, disturbing statistics about the prevalence of exposure to pornography by adolescents, and the prevalence of sex addiction among those with a comorbid behavioural addiction. She shows why cybersex is so pervasive and points you to multiple resources for further study.
