Résumé

  The case of a 44 years old HIV positive homosexual male, with highly frequent unprotected sexual behaviour associated to drug use, affecting his social, family and work spheres is presented. The aim was to assess the usefulness of an eight session ACT-based protocol to treat hypersexual behaviour. The study also aimed at assessing the feasibility of the protocol to be rolled out to a larger sample. Changes were tracked during the treatment and three months after through self-monitoring and standardized questionnaires. Jacobson-Truax clinically significant change index showed improvements in hypersexuality and psychological flexibility. The treatment has proven to be successful in reducing participant’s hypersexuality 90% (t=-0.9, p=0.0). Time spent looking for sexual intercourses, as well as the number of encounters, different partners, and frequency of drug usage during sex was drastically reduced after intervention. Results provided evidence that ACT contributed to improve compulsive sexual behaviour and therefore justified its use in subsequent clinical trials.
