Relapse Prevention Workbook for Sexually Compulsive Disorders (D.Daley & J.R.Ross). Every therapist unkmeets clients who suffer from sexually compulsive behavior (SCB). This is partly due to the fact that other behavioral problems, like substance abuse or psychiatric disorders, such as excessive hopelessness, despair, anxiety, fear, guilt, loneliness, emptiness, and shame are often the first conditions that bring persons suffering from SCB to clinical attention. Relapse Prevention Workbook for Sexually Compulsive Behaviors was specifically designed and tested to help therapists who need to treat for SCB as well as other psychiatric or behavioral conditions.
Recovery from sexually compulsive behavior patterns is an extremely difficult task without outside assistance -- the assistance of a trained professional. And this is where you come in and what this workbook is all about. It provides guidance to clients so that they may successfully address the three critical states of the recovery process: the development of the motivation to stop phase, the quitting and adaptation phase, and the maintenance of positive changes stage.
This workbook provides critical information, reinforces practical ideas that would otherwise hurt one's chances of recovery, creates an acute awareness of high-risk factors that otherwise would be discounted, and fosters specific relapse prevention plans.
This is an excellent resource for both individual and group counseling sessions of many types, including 12-step and other groups should they address sexually compulsive behavior. |
