Sexual Recovery Institute Founder Robert Weiss Targets Sex Addiction in the Military

The Army's Family Advocacy Program works with individuals and families to strengthen family relationships using education and prevention tactics. Weiss will specifically train counselors and specialists in the area of sex and porn addiction in the military along with concerns related to sexual betrayal and infidelity in order to better handle such issues.

"I feel privileged to be able to speak in front of such a large audience on such an important topic," remarked Weiss. "Despite being a touchy subject, the rise of sexual addiction in the military is an important issue and one worthy of an open dialogue."

Earlier this month, Weiss spoke to a group of psychotherapy and addiction treatment professionals at the VA in Los Angeles, California regarding sexual addiction and porn addiction in the military. During his speech, Weiss presented a paper by Michael D. Howard on the rise of sexual addiction and substance abuse problems many soldiers are dealing with after returning home from Iraq.

Robert Weiss has previously spoken on the topic of sexual addiction in media appearances such as ABC's 20/20, the Discovery Health Channel and the Oprah Winfrey show. He has also previously trained the Army on understanding sex and pornography addiction through various sessions held in Frankfurt, Germany and San Antonio, Texas.
