Sex is at the core of our identities. And when it becomes a compulsion, it can unravel our lives. Out of the Shadows is the premier work on this disorder, written by a pioneer in its treatment. Revised and updated to include the latest research--and to address the exploding phenomenon of cybersex addiction--this third edition identifies the danger signs, explains the dynamics, and describes the consequences of sexual addiction and dependency. With practical wisdom and spiritual clarity, it points the way out of the shadows of sexual compulsion and back into the light and fullness of life.
Great first step to understand sexual addiction This book is a great first reading for understanding sexual addiction, including the basic belief principles and addiction cycle of addicts. My favorite part was being shown how the "12 steps" relate to and change the beliefs. The least helpful to me was the discussion of co-addiction, and the lack of coverage of the spouse or family member who is not a co-addict, but who is nonetheless affected and devastated.Insightful My spouse is a sex addict and his therapist recommended he read this book. I decided to read it as well and this was supported by his therapist. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I found it helpful to know there are others like my husband and that counseling and working a 12 step program brought some peace and hope back to other marriages and families. We are still in early stages of diagnosis and therapy, but I have hope and courage for what lies ahead. I cannot control my husband, but I can control me.I highly recommend this book to others in my situation, not just the addict. I clearly have codependent issues as well. It gets a bit deep in spots with psycho therapy speak, but you get the gist of the message. I had several "ah, ha" moments.My Priest recommended this to me My Priest recommended this to me. It isn't an easy read nor is it a bad read. After reading this. I realized I don't fall into the sex addict definition. But, it has helped me to understand people with these issues. It doesn't hold anything back and it demonstrates the emotional aspects that lead to this problem (and the consequences). It's a common book for psychologists which could help people work with therapist in their pursuit for mental health.
