‘I would expect that the majority of therapists who have bought books on sex addiction would want to buy this also. The book is very well written with a good authoritative tone but easy to read style. And there is nothing like this on the market.’
Paula Hall, Author of Understanding and Treating Sex Addiction and Sex Addiction: The Partner’s Perspective
‘Sex offending is a concern in all countries, and is therefore a topic which is of relevance worldwide…This book manages to strike the balance between being a "how to do book", whilst still being academically wide ranging…This book will be valuable to all counsellors who find themselves working with sex offenders.’
Joanna Benfield, Editor of BACP Healthcare Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal
