Sex and pornography addiction are growing problems that devastate the lives of partners as well as sufferers. Sex Addiction: The Partner's Perspective has been written to help partners and those who care about them to survive the shock of discovering their partner is a sex addict and to help them make decisions about the future of their relationships and their lives. First and foremost, it is a practical book, full of facts and self-help exercises to give partners a much-needed sense of stability and control. 

Sex Addiction: The Partner's Perspective is divided into three parts. Part one explores the myths surrounding sex addiction and provides up-to-date information about what sex addiction is and what causes it before moving on to explain why the discovery hurts partners so much. Part two is about partners' needs and includes self-help exercises and strategies to help partners regain stability, rebuild self-esteem, and consider their future. The controversial topic of codependency is also explored with guidance on how to identify it, avoid it, and overcome it. Part three focuses on the couple relationship starting with the difficult decision of whether to stay or leave. Whatever the decision, partners will then find help and support for rebuilding trust and reclaiming their sexuality.
