Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 23, 2012
On April 27, 2012, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., internationally known author, addiction specialist and founder of The Sexual Recovery Institute, Robert Weiss, LCSW, CSAT-S, will speak to treatment professionals about assessing and treating sex addiction in the age of smartphones and social media.
Titled Understanding the Assessment and Treatment of Hypersexual Disorders/Sexual Addiction in the Digital Age, the presentation will:
Provide insight into the relationship between early attachment trauma(s) and problems with adult intimacy and sexuality
Review 10 key symptoms of sexual addiction/hypersexual disorders
Discuss the current DSM designation for adult patterns of problem sexual behavior
Examine the influence of Internet-based technologies on the problem of sexual addiction
Explore the effect of sexual betrayal on intimate relationships and marriage
Offer clear direction for guiding clients toward healing and sexual sobriety
Provide four key 12-Step referral resources for clients and their partners
Attendees will join Mr. Weiss for lunch at Peachwoods at the Inn at Pasatiempo in Santa Cruz, where they will spend the day learning about sex addiction and the full range of treatment options.
Sex addiction has existed for decades, but the easy accessibility of social networks, adultery websites, virtual chats, smartphone sex apps and other online media have presented new challenges for those with compulsive and addictive sexual disorders, said Mr. Weiss. Getting educated about hypersexual disorders/sexual addiction and treatment will help clinicians be more effective in their practices and can be the first step toward healing for those struggling with these disorders.
Robert Weiss is the founder of The Sexual Recovery Institute, the Director of Sexual Disorders Services for Elements Behavioral Health, and the creator of The Center for Relationship and Sexual Recovery at The Ranch in Tennessee. A media expert to CNN, The Oprah Winfrey Network, ESPN, Dr. Drew and the Today Show, among others, Mr. Weiss also has provided clinical training and program development for the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. military and behavioral treatment centers throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.

The dinner will be on April 26, 2012 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at no cost to attendees.
