Abstract
ABSTRACT The Trauma Inventory for Partners of Sex Addicts (TIPSA) was hypothesized to have a latent factor structure that mirrors the core criteria for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Data were gathered from 3,199 self-selected respondents, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed in order to substantiate the hypothesized structure. Several modifications were made to the model, based on factor loadings and modification indices, in order to improve goodness-of-fit. In addition to the hypothesized model, 3 other factor models were also examined. Recommendations for revision of items contained in the TIPSA, as well as evaluation of additional psychometric properties, are also included.
期刊介绍:
Now being understood and treated as a significant and widespread disorder, sexual addiction and compulsivity is an enormously complex problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach from psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, family therapists, pastoral counselors, and law enforcement personnel. The first and only journal devoted to topics pertaining to this growing illness, Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for research and clinical practice. As the source for information in this expanding new field, this journal will give practicing clinicians useful and innovative strategies for intervention and treatment from the necessary multidisciplinary perspective.
