Treatment of Problematic Pornography Use: A Systematic Review
This study examined various intervention methods for problematic pornography use. Problematic pornography use refers to the inability of individuals who identify as problematic pornography viewers to control their behavioral impulses, which causes problems in their daily functioning. Since there is no clear definition of pornography addiction in the literature and pornography addiction is not classified as a disorder under the category of behavioral addiction, it is difficult to measure and assess pornography addiction. Conversely, new research on pornography addiction treatment is emerging. For this systematic review, studies on PsychINFO, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, Web of Science, and PubMed databases were screened using the following keywords: addiction behavior, sexual addiction, pornography addiction, problematic pornography use, pornography treatment, and systematic review. Using the PRISMA guideline, 76 articles were retrieved and seven of them were included here that met the selection criteria based on their theory, method, context, and findings that allowed comparison concerning the effectiveness of their intervention programs used for problematic pornography use.
