Internet sex addiction

摘要

Internet sex addiction stoked controversy when it was discussed in a recent review article. The authors concluded that the concept of Internet sex addiction produced a fundamental attribution error (Nick et al., 2012). It was also highlighted that only 1 case study was published in an American Psychiatric Association journal (Bostwick and Bucci, 2008); there were no other articles published on the subject matter in any Royal College of Psychiatrists journal. This report will illustrate a clinical case of sex addiction linked with the Internet use.
