Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy praises "The Porn Trap"
Posted: October 1, 2009
In the May 2009 issue of the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, Dr. Jeanne Shaw presents a detailed review of The Porn Trap. She says that as a seasoned therapist it’s rare to find a book that changes her perspective on a sexual topic, but that’s just what The Porn Trap did. Dr. Shaw describes The Porn Trap as “a guide developed specifically for people whose porn use is spiraling out of control, who want to stop their destructive behaviors and avoid serious consequences and losses. The book provides an opportunity for porn users and their partners to become aware of risks and negative impacts. It focuses on rebuilding self-respect, achieving recovery, improving intimacy, and developing a satisfying sexual relationship without porn. This book is written in a nonjudgmental, compassionate way, making it valuable for therapists and patients, alike. Conversational writing style and progressive organization allows for easy reading and understanding of a dichotomized and controversial topic.” Dr. Shaw concludes her review saying “The Porn Trap lets people who have run into problems with porn use know that their problems are understandable and they are not alone. It also shows the way to healing so they can separate themselves from porn,reclaim their sexuality, and enjoy self-pleasuring and partner sex in ways that are ultimately more rewarding and life-affirming than what porn has tooffer.” The full review can be obtained through Informaworld http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~db=all~content=a910358330 Informaworld
