Thesis Title: Female Hypersexuality: A contemporary view to theory and clinical practice.
Manpreet is a PhD student in the School of Social Sciences. Manpreet's thesis is entitled Female Hypersexuality: A contemporary view to theory and clinical practice. The primary aim of my thesis is to contribute to modern understandings of female experiences of sexual addiction, considered from psychological and clinical perspectives. This investigation adds to the small number of studies previously conducted in the field.It focuses on hypersexual disorder (also referred to as sexual addiction), treatment interventions (including the NHS), shame, co-morbidities with other addictions, therapist views of treating sex addiction (in the UK), the way participants make sense of their own experiences in addiction and recovery, and the interpretations which can be discerned from participant accounts as well as self-report measures. Manpreet also has an interest in developing clinical models of the treatment of behavioural addictions to enhance the therapeutic process for treatment seekers.
