Healing
Hearts Mending Minds: Understanding and Overcoming an Addiction to the Drug
of the New Millennium, Pornography - by Mark Kastleman (2005)
Review
Kastleman, a recovered pornography addict, explains the emotional
underpinnings of pornography, and its internal-drug-induced physiological
effects on the body, that create and maintain the addiction, which is
spreading widely because of ease of access, anonymity, and privacy that the
Internet provides.
He then provides steps to full recovery -- not just management of the
addiction. His primary premise is that the addiction arises in the first place
from an emotional void in one's life. Indulgence in pornography exacerbates
this lack. Repressing the problem without help from others is part of the
problem.
Kastleman gives specific steps to take to fully overcome the addiction. The
emphasis is on restoring balance to one's life, in conjunction with faith in
Jesus Christ, to effect a full healing. He says this formula has worked for
thousands that he has advised over the years.
While he emphasizes pornography, the principles apply to the wider problem of
sexaholism, which effects males and females, old and young, pre-puberty, and
those in declining years. This book is an important guide for addicts, those
living with or working with addicts, and potential victims, which pretty much
includes everyone in this day of epidemic sexual exploitation.
