Ridgeview Professional Seminars

The workshop outlines diagnostic criteria for sexual addiction (including cybersex) and distinguishes between behavior that is addictive or compulsive, a result of naivety or mid-life crisis, a symptom of a more difficult co-morbid condition, or a sociopathological disorder. Intervention strategies and a comprehensive assessment process will be outlined. Determination of risk/impairment, the need for residential versus outpatient treatment including case examples and specific treatment approaches will be discussed.
