Compulsive Sexual Behavior Clinical Trial
Official title:
Sexual Risk Behavior, Clinical and Psychopathological Aspects of Individuals With Compulsive Sexual Behavior of the Institute of Psychiatry of the General Hospital of the University of São Paulo Medical School, an Intervention Study.
The purpose of this study is compare three interventions (short-term psychodynamic psychotherapeutic group and relapse prevention group therapy vs. treatment as usual, namely, psychiatric follow up including prescription of medication vs. both interventions combined) to individuals presenting compulsive sexual behavior.
We will compare three groups of patients under the three interventions, namely, (1)
Short-Term Psychodynamic Group Psychotherapy (STPGP) followed by Relapse Prevention Group
Therapy (RPGT) (n = 48) vs. (2) Treatment as Usual (TAU) (n = 42) vs. (3) both previous
interventions combined (n = 45).
The STPGP is a 16 weekly session's group psychotherapy. Each session lasts 90 minutes. Each
group will consist of around 10 participants. All the groups of STPGP will be conducted by
the same psychotherapist.
The RPGT is an eight weekly therapy group. The sessions are structured and will last 90
minutes.
The medication used by those who are under TAU will be introduced through psychiatric care.
Initially three visits will occur at intervals of 30 days and the followings will occur with
an interval of 60 days. The medication protocol includes serotonin reuptake inhibitors
(fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline) or mood stabilizers (topiramate, divalproex sodium,
oxcarbazepine) or both type of medications combined.
All patients will be assessed on the outcomes and independent variables in the baseline
(time 0); in the 25th week (time 1); and 34th week (time 2) of treatment.
