Abstract

To examine the effectiveness of a combination treatment for hypersexual disorder (HD), using regular involvement with a 12-step program related to sexual behavior and weekly individual psychotherapy, this qualitative study recruited volunteers with minimum three-year concurrent experience of the two interventions and minimum two-year abstinence from unwanted sexual behavior. Transcript analysis of interviews with four participants revealed the strength of 12-step meeting attendance and active involvement with a sponsor. The analysis further revealed the complementary benefit of individual psychotherapy, including inherent tension between the two interventions. The discussion section addresses, among other things, the clinical importance to treat clients’ dysregulation.

摘要

为了通过定期参与涉及性行为和每周个人心理治疗的12步计划来检查性欲亢进（HD）联合治疗的有效性，这项定性研究招募了在两种干预措施中最少三年并发经验的志愿者，以及避免因不想要的性行为而进行的至少两年禁酒。对四名参与者进行访谈的笔录分析显示，参加会议有12个步骤，并积极参与赞助商，具有很大的优势。分析进一步揭示了个体心理治疗的互补优势，包括两种干预措施之间的内在张力。讨论部分主要讨论了治疗客户异常调节的临床重要性。
