Alexandra Katehakis Investigates Sex-Addiction in her New Book “Sex Addiction as Affect Dysregulation: A Neurobiologically Informed Holistic Treatment”

In her new book Sex Addiction as Affect Dysregulation: A Neurobiologically Informed Holistic Treatment, SCCC alum Alexandra Katehakis investigates sex-addiction through the perspective of regulation theory.  Combining affective neuroscience—the study of how emotions actually grow the brain and nervous system—with tried-and-true cognitive behavioral addiction interventions, she takes us on a journey from looking at the history of sexual addiction to a call for sexual health, and sound public policy. By exploring the neurobiological underpinnings of sex-addiction, Katehakis offers a fresh take on the age-old debate on the topic.
