ISH and Dr. Minwalla utilizes a cutting-edge model that does not exist yet in most traditional compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) or sex addiction (SA) treatment models:
Dr. Minwalla developed the term sex addiction-induced trauma to describe the trauma symptoms intimate partners, children and family systems experience due to deceptive, compartmentalized sexuality and the associated abusive conduct patterns. Dr. Minwalla also developed the term “compulsive-abusive” sexuality to more accurately describe a disorder that includes two primary criteria, problem sexual acting out patterns and also patterns of abusive conduct and integrity disorders. Thus, foundational clinical treatment and initial stabilization for these types of problems includes assessment, education, intervention and treatment stabilization of both aspects of the problem, compulsive sexual behavior and/or abusive conduct and integrity disorders, and also includes understanding how these problems impact others.
