He focuses on key areas within the addiction, including sex addiction policy, cybersex, gender differences, power dynamics, and recovery. In the conclusion, Carnes offers a call to action on the need for a paradigm shift in addiction medicine and the necessity of a change in the direction psychotherapy has gone.
