Product Description
Patrick Carnes, PhD, is an expert in the field of sexual addiction in the United States.[1] Carnes is currently the Executive Director of the Gentle Path program at Pine Grove Behavioral Center in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.[2]
Carnes is author of many books, including Out of the Shadows: Understanding Sexual Addiction (1983) and Recovery Zone, Volume I (2010), in which he examines sexual compulsions, and the tangled web of trauma, love, addictive sex, hate, and fear often found in sexual addicts' family relationships.
He has worked in the field of sexual addiction in a number of other capacities:
clinical director for sexual disorder services at The Meadows in Wickenburg, Arizona,
editor-in-chief of Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention (official journal of the National Council of Sexual Addiction/Compulsivity),
board member of the National Council of Sexual Addiction/Compulsivity organization,
advisor on the national advisory board of the American Academy of Health Care Providers in the Addictive Disorders.[3]
He is the primary architect of Gentle Path treatment programs for the treatment of sexual and addictive disorders.[citation needed] [2][self-published source?] Carnes also pioneered the founding of the Certified Sex Addiction Therapist program, which is offered through the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP). This has evolved into a network of local, regional, and residential programs which specialize in this work.
