“Paula’s book takes our knowledge and understanding of sexual addiction to new levels using her own developing experience and knowledge along with a grounded theoretical understanding. It seems to me the greatest value of this update on the original ground-breaking book is in the clarity of Paula’s description of the C.H.O.I.C.E. model that is instantly applicable to any therapist, irrespective of their modality.” (from Amazon)
