Abstract:
Sex addiction or dependency is a complex and debilitating pathology characterised by a disproportionate preoccupation with sex or sexual activity. The aim of scientific research carried out into this disorder is both nosographic, to establish which subtype of mental disorder it belongs to, and physiopathological, to explain its origin and develop potential therapies. A state of the science on sexual dependency is charted, in the world of psychiatry, based on its very first mention to the present day.
