• 8th Annual IITAP Symposium
Making Advances - Treating Female Sex & Love Addicts
by Marnie C. Ferree, MA, LMFT, CSAT
The field of sex addiction treatment is ever evolving. Those evolutions have followed a predictable
path beginning with a suspicion that there was some addictive malady at work in problematic
sexual and relationship behavior. As a result, we gained a better understanding about the struggle
and its processes. We then attempted to define and name the struggle which eventually led to
determining effective treatment approaches. These developments in sex addiction treatment,
though, have had a decidedly masculine face. Similar to the advancement in understanding
alcoholism, the focus in our field has been on male sex addicts. The prevailing perspective, certainly
among the general public and sadly, among many in our own field, has been that women rarely
struggle with sexual addiction.
Finally, a new focus is now targeting the experience of females regarding
addictive sexual and relational behaviors. Beginning with a gathering of female
clinicians from IITAP and SASH who met to brainstorm about women and
sexual addiction, the group eventually developed the Women’s Sexuality
Survey, which gathered responses from almost 500 women. The responses
were about evenly divided between those who self-identified as sex addicts/
sex and love addicts and those who identified as non-addicts. The survey
clearly illuminated the impact of sex and love addiction on the addict group.
Results have been published in peer review journals.
The Women’s Summit Group also explored the differences, if any, between
female sex and love addicts and their male counterparts. Interestingly, we
found few significant distinctions between the presentation of sex and love
addiction in women as compared to men. Women are increasingly more active
in Internet sexual behaviors and other forms traditionally viewed as male types
of acting out. Women are no longer “just” the so-called love or relationship
addicts, which was the prevailing presentation when I first began treating
women in the mid-1990s. The Women’s Summit Group chose to use the name
“sex and love addicts” to include the various forms of women’s experience. We
believe the dynamics of these presentations are quite similar.
Asking the right questions is key to identifying sex and love addiction in
women. Females will often deny having “anonymous sex,” for example.
However, if you ask a woman if she has ever had sex with someone she just met
in a bar, she’s much more likely to admit that behavior. Diagnostically, the SDI
and the Women’s Sexual Addiction Screen Test are both helpful tools, along
with taking a thorough sexual and relationship history.
Treating female sex and love addicts (FSLAs), however, is quite different from
treating male sex addicts. Women need a more relational and slower approach, and the clinician
must take extra care regarding the therapeutic container. A clinician’s setting, energy, wardrobe,
touch, and environment require special consideration. Transference, countertransference and
enactments must be handled with skill and empathy. The timing of using the thirty recovery tasks is
important, as many FLSAs feel dismissed or misunderstood if the tasks are introduced prematurely
or in the absence of a well-established therapeutic relationship.
Women face significant challenges in their healing process that men are spared. The shame of
struggling with sex and love addiction is still greater in most cultures than the shame associated
with the same addiction in men. Finding support within a Twelve Step community is also
challenging. That’s because fewer women seek treatment for sex and love addiction (which is a
pattern also evident in recovery from chemical dependency) and therefore few women are present
at most recovery meetings. It’s not unusual for a woman to be the only person of her gender in a
room of men at an S meeting, and that environment can be difficult.
FSLAs also find it hard to develop authentic relationships with other women, which is crucial for
addressing their impaired attachment patterns. Most FSLAs have a deep distrust and dislike for
continued next page
Making Advances - Treating Female Sex & Love Addicts
- continued
other women, and the dynamics among women are challenging. This double bind - women both
need and have difficulty relating to other women - makes a gender specific therapy group and
treatment setting especially helpful, especially early in an FSLA’s process.
Understanding an FSLA’s experience and the nuances of her unique treatment needs allows a
clinician to better assist her in arresting her addictive behaviors and developing into a woman of
grace and integrity. An excellent new resource outlines this process: Making Advances - A
Comprehensive Guide for Treating Female Sex and Love Addicts. This book was written by a group of
experienced female clinicians and edited by Marnie Ferree.
Marnie C. Ferree, MA, LMFT, CSAT is founder of Bethesda Workshops and is a frequent
lecturer at professional and recovery conferences, churches, and schools. She also consults
with Christian organizations and churches about sexual integrity, especially in cases where a
leader has fallen into sexual sin. Her book about female sexual addiction, No Stones: Women
Redeemed from Sexual Addiction, (Intervarsity Press) is the first Christian book on the subject
by a woman personally in recovery. She recently edited Making Advances – A Comprehensive
Guide for Treating Female Sex and Love Addicts, which is the first book to address this
population. Making Advances http://www.sash.net/makingadvances was written by 10
female leaders in the clinical community and Ms. Ferree shaped the volume and edited the
entire project.
from my Desk
Tami VerHelst, Vice President
Let me begin with a THANK YOU to all of you who attended the 8th Annual IITAP Symposium! Thank
you to the presenters who did an amazing job of making the content relevant and valuable. Thank
you to the sponsors and exhibitors who help make this event and all our events a reality. A special
thank you to the hosts of the rooftop reception Pine Grove, SRI/The Ranch, and Prescott House- what
a lovely evening! We also appreciate the Pine Grove co-hosting with IITAP the cupcake reception in
celebration of the 30th anniversary of Dr. Patrick Carnes’ book that started it all, Out of the Shadows:
understanding sexual addiction. Last but not least, thank you to the dedicated IITAP staff who
welcomed this record breaking (by a significant number) group!
For those of you who missed the Symposium, the DVDs are now available for purchase. You may
place an order by completing the order form . Save the date for the 9th Annual IITAP Symposium
which will be held February 20-22, 2014. We have officially outgrown the Hotel Valley Ho in
Scottsdale, AZ, but have identified a venue in the area which will work well for us next year.
The sweetie event was a winner. The feedback was positive and it sounds like the events were
transformational for many. We will, therefore, be offering this opportunity again next year. Because of
your feedback, we will offer the sweeties and their significant others more opportunities to be with
both Stefanie and Patrick Carnes.
We are pleased to have two offerings of the Module 1 training coming up soon. The first offering will
be April 17-21st in Scarborough, Ontario hosted by Bellwood Treatment Center. We have obtained
CEUs from CACCF for this training series so this will directly benefit our Canadian participants. The
second offering for Module 1 training will take place May 29-June 2nd in Santa Fe, NM hosted by Life
Healing Center. Training space is limited. So, if you or a colleague are interested, we’d encourage
you to submit your paperwork soon. The information is available on http://www.iitap.com/events/
sex-addiction-workshops/98-csat-module-1-training .
We are also excited to announce that we will be offering a full training series in The Netherlands
hosted by SolutionS beginning September 30, 2013 with Module 2 offered most likely in March of
2014 http://www.iitap.com/events/sex-addiction-workshops/98-csat-module-1-training.
U.S. Journal Training, Inc. is hosting The 1st International Conference on Sex & Love Addiction April
4-6th in Brooklyn, NY http://www.usjt.com/2013/353/index.aspx. This is a collaborative effort to:
•
provide a stage for the exchange of ideas about how the international community is
providing education and treatment for sexual addiction
•
begin an international dialogue on the impact of cybersex
•
disseminate information on the most up to date tools and research on the assessment and
treatment of sex addiction
•
provide collaboration across associations and professional organizations to further the
knowledge and reduce the stigma of sex addiction
Be part of the inaugural event by registering at http://www.usjt.com/products/210sex_love_addiction_new_york_april_2013.aspx.
We are planning to offer again the Financial and Work Disorder CMAT training later this year. Bonnie
DenDooven did a great job with this in September 2012 and we’ve had a number of requests for
another training like this. When we have details, we’ll definitely let everyone know.
At the Symposium, I was hearing so many “somebody said” statements and made the
“announcement” not to listen to “somebody” as they may not have been well informed. Just to clarify
a few of the things “somebody said” during the Symposium:
•
We do not require attendance at the CSAT Refresher. We highly encourage it for those who
went through the training two or more years ago as the materials change rapidly. Those
from my Desk Tami VerHelst, Vice President
attending find the information valuable and it counts towards the 15 IITAP CEUs. Dr. Patrick
Carnes mentioned that he has learned more in the past six months than the previous six
years. We want our CSAT community to be at the cutting edge.
•
You are not required to attend the IITAP Symposium. You are required to have 15 IITAP
CEUs during your two year certification period. This can be achieved by attending the CSAT
Refresher, IITAP Symposium, CMAT trainings or any of the CSAT modules – using them as a
refresher. Feel free to visit the IITAP listserv archives for more clarification on this.
•
The balance of the CEUs can be from any legitimate CEU provider (NAADAC, NASW, APA,
NBCC, etc.) and SASH is definitely part of this.
If you hear something that doesn’t sound quite right, please ask. We are happy to clarify and clear up
any confusion.
As always, if we can be of assistance, don’t hesitate to call our office at 480-575-6853 or e-mail me at
tami@iitap.com.
With gratitude,
Tami

From the Gentle Path Press Editor’s Desk
It was so great meeting many of you at the 8th annual IITAP Symposium in
February. It was nice to put names to faces. And I got to talk about some of my
favorite things – our Gentle Path Press books and some of your book ideas for
future publications. This is truly when I’m in my glory—surrounded by books and
people who love them. Crawling under tables, hauling boxes of books, and
tripping on cardboard boxes, not so much!
We just had a recap meeting about the IITAP Symposium. Be ready for some great
improvements in 2014 starting with a new venue with plenty of room for perusing our books
and leisurely author book signings. Something new we would definitely like to implement is a
plan for CSAT authors to be able to showcase their books at the bookstore. Gentle Path Press
only has the resources to publish three to four books per year. We receive an abundance of
fantastic proposals that we’re simply not able to publish. It’s nice to see when CSATs with really
great book ideas either self-publish or find
another publisher home. It is my hope that
you’ll be successful no matter who you
publish with. Stay tuned. We’ll start
advertising for published authors on the
IITAP Listserv this summer for people who are
interested in doing this and roll out a process
for doing so.
At the IITAP Symposium we had our newest
“hot off the press” book: Cruise Control:
understanding sex addiction in gay men
http://www.gentlepath.com/product.php?
productid=64 written by Robert Weiss. It is
available as an e-book too: https://
www.ebookit.com/books/0000002360/
Cruise-Control-Understanding-SexAddiction-in-Gay-Men.html . It’s been fun
reconnecting with Rob since I was his editor
on his first book that he co-authored with
Jennifer Schneider, “Cybersex Exposed:
Simple Fantasy or Obsession?” (Hazelden,
2001). Back in 2001, we had no idea where
technology would take is in the future and
how that would specifically impact sex
addiction. Cruise Control does a great job of
showing how recovery is possible in this
digital age.
Being relatively new to the CSAT community,
I wanted to comment about the sense of community I felt during the IITAP Symposium. You
could see the camaraderie among the participants and their passion for recovery. The books
and other resources we provide at Gentle Path Press are just one way to contribute to this
amazing group of CSATs and their clients.

The SDI 4.0 Has Arrived!
Short Video Tutorial Available Now
4.0
We are pleased to announce the release of the Sexual Dependency Inventory (SDI) 4.0. It
is now available for you to use with yourclients. There is a 27 minute tutorial uploaded
onto our website that discusses the new changes. If you were at Stefanie’s presentation at
the IITAP Symposium in February, this tutorial will be redundant, but can be used as a
refresher. Go to: http://www.iitap.com/resources/training-material/csat-forms-a-info
The password to the video is in all capital letters and case sensitive: IITAP
Right next to the link is the new SDI manual and two fully endorsed reports (one female
client, one male client - the new report scoring is gender specific based on population
means for males vs females). You may choose to print up one of the reports and the
powerpoints in the presentation to follow along.
All CSATS have been given two free tokens for the SDI 4.0. Our plan is to give you two
weeks to view the tutorial and use your free tokens. Then, we will migrate your SDI 3.0
tokens to version 4.0 on Monday, March 25th. If you need additional 4.0 tokens, you may
purchase one or two to tide you over or, if
you prefer, we can help you migrate your tokens earlier. If you do not want your tokens
migrated, you can email the office staff at info@iitap.com.
If you have any questions or concerns about the SDI 4.0 please contact Andy Cline, MA,
CSAT at Andy@iitap.com
If you are comfortable reading the SDI 3.0 you will most likely find it very easy to transition
to the new assessment. There are some really neat added features, so we anticipate most
of you will want to transition to the new version as soon as possible. Thank you! We hope
you enjoy the new version of the instrument!
