Cybersex: the Dark Side of the Force. - book review

Journal of Sex Research, Nov, 2001 by Tina M. Timm

Overall, this book provides a solid orientation to the world of cybersex. It is a compilation of the latest research and treatment strategies on the topic. Clinicians with little knowledge on the subject would benefit greatly from reading this book, which was first a special issue of the journal Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity. However, clinicians who are already specializing in the area of cybersex addiction will probably not find what they are looking for in this basic, sometimes simplistic, text.
