Online Training Description:

Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) appears in the International Classification of Diseases – 11 (ICD-11) as an impulse control disorder and is characterized by a persistent pattern of failure to control intense, repetitive sexual impulses, urges, and behaviors. In this training, Drs Kingston and Marshall will present new data relevant to the assessment and treatment of CSBD among individuals convicted of sexual offending and offer new, evidence-informed treatment approaches.

CSBD has been consistently embedded in etiological models of sexually aggressive behavior and is associated with sexual recidivism. As a diagnosis, CSBD is riddled with problems that range from its core theoretical conceptualization to specific issues about the content and structure of the scales used to measure it. Moreover, there is a notable lack of evidence-based, manualized interventions for individuals with CSBD.

Drs Kingston and Marshall will review the controversies associated with CSBD and describe the treatment approaches that they have developed. Finally, they will provide outcome data related to their approach.
