Abstract:
The Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder Scale (CSBD-19) was developed in response to the inclusion of Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder in the eleventh edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). Four years after the publication of the CSBD-19, we aimed to map the existing body of validation research on the CSBD-19. We systematically searched PubMed, EBSCO, and Scopus and identified 22 studies, including 69 samples (N(Total)=129,049) from 35 countries, which provided empirical evidence for the scale's reliability and validity. The CSBD-19 appears to be a reliable five-factor scale developed to assess compulsive sexual behavior according to ICD-11 criteria across multiple countries, languages, and genders. More research evaluating evidence of criterion validity, as well as thresholding the proposed cutoff score, is needed in clinical populations.
