Assessment of Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity: A Comprehensive Neuropsychosexual Approach

Los Angeles Psychological Association Assessment Special Interest Group
Presented by Alexandra Katehakis, MFT

With the advent of the Internet and the accessibility of sex on-line and throughout our culture, it is becoming increasingly more important for clinicians to recognize sexual addiction and cybersex addiction so they can treat it. This course is designed to improve the clinician’s ability to assess the problem accurately and to improve their existing skills and knowledge of the problem. The primary goal of this course, is twofold: (a) to provide clinicians with practical information on how to assess the problem (b) to improve clinical skills by recognizing co-morbid disorders and addictions and the importance of proper psychiatric evaluation to assist the clinician in writing a treatment plan. This presentation is designed to create a clear, non-judgmental understanding of Sexually Addictive Behaviors as defined by experts in the field and patients in recovery.

Sex Addiction 101: What Every Therapist Should Know

Psychotherapy Networker Telecourse with Alexandra Katehakis, MFT, CSAT-S, CST
http://www.psychotherapynetworker.org/telecourses

Overview:

When sexual addiction first appeared as a clinical problem, most therapists thought of it as an oddity, out of their scope of practice, and a problem they should refer out.  Increasingly clinicians are seeing this problem in their practices and want to address it but don’t know where to begin. With the advent of the Internet and the accessibility of sex in our culture it is becoming increasingly more important for clinicians to recognize signs of sexual addiction, understand what sexual addiction is, and how to treat it. The primary goal of this course is twofold: (a) to provide clinicians with practical information about sexual addiction and how it can be used in a private practice setting; and (b) to improve clinical skills by providing interventions and treatment planning when working with patients.

The course is organized around Patrick Carnes, Ph.D. task-centered approach.  Actual steps and components of the treatment process will be delineated to improve the clinician’s understanding and application of clinical skills in working with this population in individual therapy. Both beginning and intermediate clinicians will learn and/or improve their existing skills and knowledge of the problem. The order in which the material is covered in this course will model the sequence of steps one would follow in actual practice when faced with helping a patient get sexually sober.

Course Content:

1. What is sex addiction? Definitions, criteria, consequences, and eroticized  rage.

2. Etiology and family dynamics

3. Assessment, diagnosis, and the difference between treatment and psychotherapy.

4. Treatment recommendations

Learning Objectives:

1. Define and understand sexual addiction and it’s etiology as related to family of origin issues.

2. Learn how to conduct an initial assessment, understand homework assignments and basics progressing to more advanced interventions.  Understand co-morbid disorders and addictions and the importance of proper psychiatric evaluation in assisting the clinician to write a treatment plan.

3. Be able to carry out the basics of a treatment plan, including creating a sexual sobriety plan and other tasks to break through denial.
