Abstract
Arguments exist regarding the validity of the term 'pornography addiction' and whether or not such a condition exists. However, for clients presenting to therapy wishing to cease or limit pornography consumption, therapists need to provide therapeutic interventions that address the concerns of the client. This article outlines the characteristics and risk factors of pornography addiction. It invites therapists to consider acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) for working with clients presenting with pornography consumption concerns. It will also provide a critical analysis of ACT in comparison with other treatment methods, such as structural family therapy or psychoeducation.
