Course Description

This research article, from the Journal of Behavioral Addictions, investigates the personality characteristics of men who exhibit compulsive sexual behavior with by comparing them to a control group of men without hypersexual disorder (HD).

The study utilized the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5-BF) to assess five domains of personality maladjustment: negative affect, detachment, psychoticism, antagonism, and disinhibition.

The findings indicate that men with HD exhibit significantly higher levels of maladjustment across all five domains. While a regression analysis did not identify specific predictive personality domains for HD in this sample, the study highlights the extent of personality maladjustment and potential interpersonal difficulties experienced by men with HD, suggesting these factors could be important in understanding and treating the condition.

This is an accredited course designed for Licensed Professional Counselors to earn Continuing Education Hours, or LPC CEHs

Learning Objectives

Participants will learn:

1. What specific personality domains differ between men with and without hypersexual behavior.
2. How the results of the PID-5-BF analysis can be translated into treatment targets for men with hypersexual behavior.

Course Description

Often, in the treatment of Compulsive Sexual Behavior, clients are advised to engage in an abstinence period from pornography or all sexual activity. Despite a lack of data to support the assertion, this is often seen as an opportunity to “reset” the dopamine pathways.

This study, using a randomized controlled design, sought to assess the effects of a 7-day period of abstinence from pornography use in people who both did and did not have high levels of problematic pornography use.

The study reports findings on the effects of this sexual and pornography abstinence period on craving, affect and withdrawal symptoms.

Learning Objectives

Participants will:

1. Come to understand the current thinking in the field relating to conceptualizing problematic pornography use.
2. Understand the effect of frequency of pornography use in withdrawal-like symptoms.
3. Come to understand the difficulties in studying pornography use and the limitations in generalizing related data.

Course Description

The majority of research on Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) or sexual addiction has been conducted with white, heterosexual, male participants. There is a lack of research on CSBD in women.

This research paper looks specifically at CSB in women and ascertains the behavioral and demographic correlations in the population.

The post Masturbation Frequency and Sexual Function [ARTICLE] first appeared on Sexual Addiction Treatment Services.

Course Description

A key component of treatment for minor attracted persons is understanding the influences and tools available to assess for recidivism.

This course is a journal article that specifically looks at recidivism rates of individuals who acknowledge sexual interest in minors and voluntarily attend treatment through the Do Not Offend project. 

This research addresses several questions. 

The first has to do with the “dark specter” of recidivism studies, meaning that most studies of recidivism for sexual offenses are based on new convictions. This study provides recidivism data for individuals who have not been caught by law enforcement but who are self acknowledging offending behavior. 

Secondly, the study addresses what risk assessment measures were valid for assessing risk in this population of subjects who were not forensic. It makes an argument that treatment for individuals with sexual interest in children, even if considered low risk, is a wise use of resources to promote public safety. 

This is an accredited course designed for Licensed Professional Counselors to earn Continuing Education Hours, or LPC CEHs

Learning Objectives

Participants will:

1. Learn the difference between current recidivism rates in the research based on re-offending and re-offense rates for those who voluntarily attend treatment for minor attracted persons
2. Learn what risk assessment tools are useful for those who engage in offending behaviors who voluntarily attend treatment
3. Learn whether a clinical diagnosis of pedophilia influences risk of recidivism
