Out of the Shadows Understanding Sexual Addiction Softcover

Out of the Shadows, the first work ever published on sexual addiction, remains the premier text in the field. It is a compelling, breakthrough work offering hope for those who had no hope and insight for those who want to learn how and why this addiction occurs. Dr. Carnes examines the tangled web of love, addictive sex, hate and fear that is usually founded in family relationships. He details what happens and what to expect when sexual addiction is present. And he offers a way for addicts and codependents to deal with their sexual compulsions, as well as their whole life, to become more whole human beings.
