This paper proposes a theoretical framework by way of exploring addiction interaction in terms of addressing the following key questions: What happens when a patient population of sex addicts is assessed for other comorbid disorders? What conceptual foundations might we look to in terms of possible etiology and clinical intervention? Are there ways these addictions interact making the whole more than just the “sum” of the addictions themselves? Can we explain these interactions from what is known from neurobiology? Finally, are these interactions comprehensible to patients? In order for the paradigm to be useful to patients, they have to be able to recognize them. Clinicians who achieve a basic understanding of addiction interactions and relevant neurobiological background will be in a better position to serve the needs of their client.
