“…Compulsive sexuality or sexual addiction is marked by unsuccessful attempts to regulate sexual behaviors (e.g., Carnes, 1983;Coleman, 1992;Gold & Heffner, 1998;Earle & Crow, 1990) and so self-control may be especially important in restraining sexual behavior among people with sexual control disorders (see Wiederman, 2004). Low self-control may be an important causal factor of sexual control disorders.…”

“…First, an inability to self-regulate is central to the definition of sexual control disorders (see Wiederman, 2004 for a review). People who experience compulsive sexuality or sexual addiction suffer primarily from an inability to control their sexual behavior (e.g., frequent masturbation, sleeping with strangers; Barth & Kinder, 1987, Carnes, 1983Coleman, 1992;Earle & Crow, 1990;Gold & Heffner, 1998). To control one's behavior is to exert self-control.…”

“…This 21-item scale measures severity of depressive symptomology (Beck et al, 1996). Cut-off scores are minimal (0-13), mild (14-19), moderate (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28) and severe (29-63). The BDI-II is a widely used, valid and reliable measure (Beck, Steer, Ball & Ranieri, 1996).…”

The evidence base for treatment of hypersexuality disorder (HD) has few studies with appropriate methodological rigour. This study therefore conducted a single case experiment of cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) for HD using an A/B with extended follow-up design. Cruising, pornography usage, masturbation frequency and associated cognitions and emotions were measured daily in a 231-day time series. Following a 3-week assessment baseline (A -21 days), treatment was delivered via outpatient sessions (B -147 days), with the follow-up period lasting 63 days. Results show that cruising and pornography usage extinguished. The total sexual outlet score no longer met caseness and the primary nomothetic hypersexuality outcome measure met recovery criteria.Reduced pornography consumption was mediated by reduced obsessionality and greater interpersonal connectivity. The utility of the CAT model for intimacy problems shows promise. Directions for future HD outcome research are also provided.
