Pornography addiction has a staggering effect on the life of one suffering from its clutches. Today, statistics show that alarming numbers of men, women, and teens struggle with frequent or habitual pornography use. Clinical therapist Dr. Peter Kleponis shares his expertise in addiction recovery to prove healing is possible. Integrity Restored: Helping Catholic Families Win the Battle Against Pornography outlines the rise of pornography use in America and proposes a path of recovery.
Divided into two parts, Integrity Restored first looks at the development of the pornography epidemic in America and its impact on individuals, families, and the Church, then Dr. Kleponis outlines a program of recovery and hope, drawing heavily from Church teaching on human sexuality. An appendix of recommended resources is included.
This collection of real stories and professional wisdom is a much-needed contribution to the discussion of this pervasive problem. Integrity Restored: Helping Catholic Families Win the Battle Against Pornography is highly recommended for parents, educators, and pastors.
Now available in a revised and updated print edition.
