Lovemaps and Lovemap Pathology
Professor Eli Coleman

Access to Lectures | Speaker

One of John Money's signficant contributions was the understanding of lovemaps and lovemap pathology. John Money defined three types of lovemap pathology: paraphilia, hyperphilia, and hypophilia. He devoted much of his career to the understanding of paraphilias. This presentation will review the unique contributions that John Money made to our understanding of paraphilias. Buidling on the work of John Money, there have been many new developments in understanding the nature, etiology and treatment of paraphilic and non-paraphilic impulsive and compulsive seuxal behavior. It appears that there may be many etiologies and a variety of subtypes of these disorders. Controversies still exist about the etiology, nosology and treatment. The author has developed a nosology of nonparaphilic impulsive/compulsive sexual behavior and an approach to treatment involving both pharma- and psychotherapies which provides a more comprehensive approach to the wide variety of indivuduals who present with paraphilic and non-paraphilic impulsive/compulsive sexual behavior.
