Abstract
A rationale for the conceptualization of repetitive sexual behaviors as an addiction is presented. Five cases treated by individual psychotherapy are described and certain problems inherent in such treatments are delineated. Other treatment approaches, such as those involving the use of medication, twelve-step groups, and cognitive-behavioral techniques are also detailed.
