Chemical Dependency and Intimacy Dysfunction
Edited by Eli Coleman, PhD Professor and Director, Program in Human Sexuality, Department
of Family Practice and Community Health, Medical School, University of Minnesota,
Minneapolis
The failure to deal with social-sexual issues may impair the progress of recovery in a
chemically dependent individual and his or her family. The failure to deal with sexual
compulsivity in intravenous drug abusers may seriously impair our ability to deal with
AIDS. The failure to deal with chemical dependence may render family therapy ineffective
in the treatment of sex offenders.
Despite the connection between chemical dependency and intimacy dysfunction, the intimacy
concerns are rarely recognized in the diagnosis, treatment, and aftercare of the
chemically dependent person and his or family. In this pioneering work, experts in the
fields of chemical dependence and human sexuality provide professionals with information
and skills to deal with intimacy dysfunction issues--offering hope for improving treatment
and rehabilitation of chemically dependent individuals and their families. Typical
intimacy dysfunctions are explored, as well as treatment methods and strategies that have
proven to be effective. A valuable resource guide, this comprehensive volume addresses the
key issues in the multidisciplinary approach to the study of chemical dependency and
intimacy dysfunction.
