To date, treatment effectiveness studies of CSBD are under-developed; typically, treatment for CSBD is based on guidelines for substance or other behavioural addictions. Mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) is an evidence-based treatment for substance addiction aimed at, among other things, reducing craving and negative affect\u2014i.e. processes that are implicated in the maintenance of problematic sexual behaviours. However, to our knowledge no prior research has been published evaluating mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) in the treatment of CSBD, except two clinical case reports. Therefore, the aim of the current pilot study was to examine whether MBRP can lead to clinical improvement in CSBD.\n                      <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>\n                      : Participants were 13 adult males with a diagnosis of CSBD. Before and after the eight-week MBRP intervention, participants completed a booklet of questionnaires including measurements of porn viewing, masturbation and emotional distress.\n                      <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n                      : As expected, we found that after MBRP participants spent significantly less time engaging in problematic pornography use and exhibited a decrease in anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms.\n                      <jats:italic>Discussion and Conclusions:<\/jats:italic>\n                      The findings indicate that MBRP could be beneficial for CSBD individuals. Further clinical effectiveness studies with bigger sample sizes, delayed post-training measurements and randomised control trial design are warranted. In conclusion, MBRP leads to a decrease in time spent watching porn and a decrease in emotional distress in CSBD patients.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1556\/2006.2020.00075","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,20]],"date-time":"2020-11-20T22:11:00Z","timestamp":1605910260000},"page":"1088-1092","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1556\/policypage.crossmark.crossref.1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["A pilot study of mindfulness-based relapse prevention for compulsive sexual behaviour disorder"],"prefix":"10.1556","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4210-3396","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Pawe\u0142","family":"Holas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Faculty of Psychology, University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ma\u0142gorzata","family":"Draps","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Institute of Psychology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ewelina","family":"Kowalewska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3Department of Psychiatry, Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education, Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karol","family":"Lewczuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"4Institute of Psychology, Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University, Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mateusz","family":"Gola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Institute of Psychology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland"},{"name":"5Swartz Centre for Computational Neuroscience, University of California San Diego, CA, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"425","reference":[{"key":"ref251","first-page":"134","article-title":"The structured clinical interview for DSM-IV axis I disorders (SCID-I) and the structured clinical interview for DSM-IV axis II disorders (SCID-II)","volume-title":"Comprehensive handbook of psychological assessment","volume":"Vol. 2","author":"Validity","year":"2004"},{"key":"ref521","volume-title":"SPSS survival manual\u2014a step by step guide to data analysis using SPSS for windows","author":"Pallant","year":"2007"},{"key":"ref151","first-page":"27","article-title":"Should hypersexual disorder be classified as an addiction?","volume":"20","author":"Kor","year":"2013","journal-title":"Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity"},{"key":"ref451","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"377","DOI":"10.1007\/s10508-009-9574-7","article-title":"Hypersexual disorder: A proposed diagnosis for DSM-V","volume":"39","author":"Kafka","year":"2010","journal-title":"Archives of Sexual Behavior"},{"key":"ref61","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"445","DOI":"10.1556\/2006.7.2018.26","article-title":"Compulsive sexual behavior: A twelve-step therapeutic approach","volume":"7","author":"Efrati","year":"2018","journal-title":"Journal of Behavioral Addictions"},{"key":"ref531","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"313","DOI":"10.1002\/jclp.22027","article-title":"Mindfulness, emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and stress proneness among hypersexual patients","volume":"70","author":"Reid","year":"2014","journal-title":"Journal of Clinical Psychology"},{"key":"ref111","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"829","DOI":"10.1017\/S1092852900014991","article-title":"The application of mindfulness-based cognitive interventions in the treatment of co-occurring addictive and mood disorders","volume":"11","author":"Hoppes","year":"2006","journal-title":"CNS Spectrums"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"303","DOI":"10.1007\/s10608-007-9119-0","article-title":"The impact of intensive mindfulness training on attentional control, cognitive style, and affect","volume":"32","author":"Chambers","year":"2008","journal-title":"Cognitive Therapy and Research"},{"key":"ref101","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"357","DOI":"10.1001\/jamainternmed.2013.13018","article-title":"Meditation programs for psychological stress and well-being: A systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"174","author":"Goyal","year":"2014","journal-title":"JAMA Internal Medicine"},{"key":"ref391","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"815","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsxm.2016.02.169","article-title":"What matters: Quantity or quality of pornography use?
