the problem with harvey weinstein\'s sex addiction claim

It\'s an all-too-
Common narrative.
A powerful rich man is accused of sexual behavior, which is inappropriate at best, and the worst is criminal behavior, and announces that he is seeking treatment.
It is reported that well-known Hollywood producer Harvey Winstein has been admitted to the rehabilitation center for sexual addiction, and many experts in the medical field say this is not a real diagnosis ---
Not to mention an accurate description of what he called abuse.
Since the first blockbuster report by the New York Times and The New Yorker, more than 50 women have accused Weinstein of sexual harassment, and at least 6 women have accused Weinstein of sexual assault.
Ex of evil sex-
The gynecologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, admitted that in the testimony of the plaintiff at Cosby, the sexual abuse of the two patients was \"chilling similarity\" not guilty
A representative of an actor, Kevin spicy, said that he also filed a trafficking charge against Harvey Weinstein, after many plaintiffs filed accounts for sexual harassment and abuse, unspecified \"assessment and treatment\" is being sought \".
Weinstein began what he called the journey \". . .
To get to know himself and conquer my demons, \"said the expert, the behavior he was accused of did not fall under any classification of sexual addiction.
\"I don\'t know the details of his case.
However, sexual harassment and sexual assault have never been considered sexual addiction behavior that I have seen, \"said Dr. Nicole Praz, a California practicing psychologist and a research scientist at liberrose, sexual biotechnology.
She said that while sex addiction therapists often confuse sex offenders with sex \"addicts\" in treatment programs, \"I and many other treatment providers think this is inappropriate and dangerous
It gives the impression that others are wrong, not that people\'s behavior will improve and may be trusted in the future.
The Harvey Weinstein scandal continues to expand in a blog post on Psychology Today, where Marty Klein is a licensed marriage and family therapist and a certified therapist, provides some other possibilities for the root cause of Weinstein\'s behavior.
He wrote: \"Why not see his main problem as it is. . .

Masochism or self-abuseDestructive?
Fear of being insignificant or even non-existent?
Can\'t keep the marriage vows?
Lack of integrity?
Can\'t an incredible career give yourself enough nutrition?

\"I\'m not like this,\" Klein wrote . \".
Is sex addiction true?
Aside from Weinstein\'s situation, there is a debate about whether sexual addiction is a real situation in the medical community.
Sexual addiction is not a recognized diagnosis in the manual on diagnosis and statistics of Mental Disorders (DSM-V)

It states on its website that it does not recognize sexual addiction as a mental health disorder.
The official statement is: \"AASECT 1)
Insufficient empirical evidence was found to support the classification of sexual or pornographic addiction as mental health disorders and 2)
No accurate knowledge of human sexuality was found to fully understand the training and treatment methods of sexual addiction and the teaching of education.
\"In 2013, Prause, a researcher at the Department of Psychiatry at the Institute of Neuroscience and Human Behavior at the University of California, Los Angeles, published a study that found so-

She explained that the secondary harvest is a term often used by psychologists and refers to the social or psychological advantage that a person believes they will receive from illness or treatment.
For example, calling sexual abuse an addiction may be a way to transfer responsibility or gain sympathy.
\"Some people seem to want this to keep their partner from leaving them because of infidelity or something like that,\" Prause said . \".
