Pornography: The Hidden Addiction
April 9 | 3:45 - 5:45 PM | GRH 2009
CEUs: 2 | Contact Hours: 2
Recently, addiction has become a focal point for treatment within the United States. Topics such as opiate addiction have gained statewide and national attention, placing addiction at the center of mental health issues in America. With all the media coverage on addictions, pornography is one that you will not often see. However, research has shown that internet pornography addiction is a growing concern among all age groups, especially our youth. Understanding signs and symptoms of internet pornography and addiction, as well as identifying treatment options can be helpful for mental health providers.
This presentation will include how to recognize signs and symptoms, discuss reasons internet pornography is not included in the DSM-V and offer helpful treatment options for providers treating individuals with pornography addiction.
