Hypersexuality and Religion/Spirituality: A Qualitative Review
ABSTRACT Prior research has linked hypersexuality to negative mental health outcomes, and this relationship is partially explained by one's appraisals of sexual behavior. Religious/spiritual beliefs can strongly influence appraisals of sexual behavior, especially to the degree that individuals view themselves as failing to act in line with their sexual values. The purpose of the present article was to review empirical studies on the intersection of religion/spiritualty and hypersexuality. Most studies were based on convenience samples and used measures of hypersexuality that only partially align with proposed diagnostic criteria. Studies consistently demonstrated a negative relationship between religiosity and hypersexual behavior. In addition, hypersexuality was negatively related to measures of spiritual adjustment. Implications for future research as well as treatment of hypersexuality are discussed.
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.
