Sexual Recovery Institute Founder Debunks Porn Addiction Myths within Orthodox Jewish Community
LOS ANGELES - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Los Angeles-based Sexual
Recovery Institute, known internationally as a leader for its sexual
addiction recovery intensive outpatient program, has announced that
Founder Robert Weiss will be speaking at the upcoming "Sin or Sickness:
Internet Porn and Gambling in the Orthodox Community" workshop.
Presented by the Aleinu Family Resource Center and the Rabbinical
Council of California, the process addiction-focused workshop will be
held at the Simon Wiesenthal Center from 12pm - 5pm on November 18, 2009.
Weiss, who recently contributed to "Tempest in the Temple: Jewish
Communities and Child Sex Scandals," will be co-presenting with gambling
addiction expert Dr. Timothy W. Fong.
"What many people fail to understand is that strict religious
environments, where sexuality is scrutinized and often demonized, can
actually trigger certain undesirable sexual behaviors," remarked Weiss.
"As someone who has had extensive experience in dealing with various sexual
related addictions, I hope to shed some light on this type of
behavior as well as available and proven treatment and recovery methods."
Weiss
has previously spoken on the topic of Internet porn addiction in media
appearances such as The Oprah Winfrey Show, Glenn Beck Show, Inside
Edition, Larry King Live, and The Today Show.
