Publisher's Summary

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.

Not for every sex addict

The book is more focused on describing a vast variety of sex additions than helping you with a game plan. It helped me to not feel alone in my addiction. But doesn't help me to built a way out of the addiction. It mostly helps you to be aware of how deep into the hole some people go. It has very nasty stories Keep in mind it's tough and painful to hear.
