Self Assessment

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

The Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST) is designed to assist in the assessment of sexually compulsive behavior which may indicate the presence of sex addiction. Developed in cooperation with hospitals, treatment programs, private therapists, and community groups, the SAST-R provides a profile of responses which help to discriminate between addictive and non-addictive behavior.

If you return a relatively high score and would like to discuss opportunities to start the journey of recovery, please include your email address at the end of this form. Your email is not required, so you are also free to take this assessment and remain anonymous.
