The purpose of this study was to understand how clinical therapists of sexual addiction in Sweden construct sexual addiction as a problem. The data in this study was obtained from eight interviews with people who works as clinical therapists. The data then got analysed through perspective analysis. The findings in this study shows that the therapists find difficulties in defining sexual addiction and most of time the individual with sexual addiction define their own problem. Individuals with sexual addiction have a heterogenous perspective on the problem and the therapists also share this heterogenous perspective. A common theme in the stories from the therapists was that sexual addiction has many consequences. Two of the more prevalent consequences was the shame surrounding sexual addiction and the double life you must live as a person with sexual addiction because of this shame.
