The Why Book of sexual addiction is recent in a series of eleven books written by Paul Becker, LPC. The book is packed with the best wisdom he has to offer men who struggle with unwanted sexual behavior. The Why Book is a source of instructive narrative, therapeutic exercises, and technical appendices all geared to strengthen the man drowning in a pit of aberrant sexual behavior. It offers comprehensive treatment to those searching for answers on their recovery journey. The WHY Book addresses and answers such questions as; What is sexual addiction? Why, (thus the title of the book) can't I just stop my addictive behavior? What are the sex addiction cycle and the sex addiction ritual? What is the role of anger, shame, depressed mood, isolation, anxiety, codependency in fostering sexual addiction? How did sexual exposure during childhood play a role in causing adult addictive behavior? What does a man need to know to recover from sexual addiction? Is recovery from sexual behavior a joint family responsibility? Becker offers gentle and comprehensive wisdom to help men step out of addiction into a life of enlightenment. His books follow Dr. Patrick Carnes concepts and research as a guide for men who suffer from sexual addiction. Becker has gathered clinical data that underpins all aspects of acting-out behavior as well as a plethora of practical recovery applications to help men and women, in conjunction with therapy, achieve long-term sexual sobriety.
