Psychotherapy for problematic pornography use: A comprehensive meta-analysis
Overview
This meta-analysis synthesizes evidence on psychotherapy for problematic pornography use, focusing on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy interventions. The review reports that participants receiving these treatments showed significant improvements in pornography use frequency and sexual compulsivity compared to controls, with stable within-subject effects at follow-up. The resource is intended for clinicians and researchers interested in the efficacy of evidence-based interventions for this condition.
