Presents a case report of a patient suffering from sexual craze. Citation of symptoms associated with mental compulsion of the patient to watch pornographic films; Sexual relations that the patient had with his two wives over the period of time; Insight into the course of the different phases of treatment of the patient.

This article provides an overview of the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of the phenomenon "sex addiction." The focus is placed on excessive, compulsive sexual behaviour outside the realm of paraphilias; however, paraphilias are described in order to facilitate the differential diagnosis of symptoms. The author criticizes the English language literature due to a lack of specificity in the assumed causes of sexual addiction; the commonly discussed causes are so general that they cannot be distinguished from the causes of other forms of psychopathology. Included is a case report by Wolfgang Berner in which the treatment of sexual addiction in a male patient is described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article responds to the previous two articles in this issue by Peer Briken and by Peter Fromberger and Jürgen L. Müller on the subject of free will in the case of the behavior and treatment of sexual offenders with sexual preference disorders (paraphilia). The writer claims that the latter writers confute pedophilia with homosexuality and that Briken fails to distinguish between premeditated action versus irresistible long-term impulse in paraphiles.
