Sex Addiction and Intimacy Disorder Expert Robert Weiss Releases "The Journalist's Guide To Sex Scandals"
As another story related to "Men in Power" acting out sexually dominates news headlines, leading expert and author releases digital and hard copy guidebook for journalists full of resources related to sex scandals.
LOS ANGELES, CA, November 06, 2011 /California PR News/ -- As headlines surrounding GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain's alleged sexual harassment of women during his time as head of the National Restaurant Association dominate the news, leading sexual addiction and intimacy disorder Robert Weiss has released "The Journalist's Guide to Sex Scandals" to provide insight into the psychology and potential pathology behind "Men In Power" who act out sexually.
Mr. Weiss has consulted with the military, healthcare organizations, entertainment industry executives and legal industry associations on issues related to sexual addiction, serial infidelity, intimacy disorders, and how to best seek treatment and recovery. He has provided expert commentary to major media including CNN's Larry King Live, HLN, The Today Show, The Early Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, MSNBC, NPR, FOX News, ESPN, Time Magazine, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal regarding every sex scandal to make headlines since the 1990s.
"What the media often doesn't realize is that there are specific patterns among 'Men in Power' who act out sexually: whether it be accusations about sexual harassment, serial infidelity, inappropriate dalliances with prostitutes, and pretty much anything in between," remarked Mr. Weiss, who founded the Sexual Recovery Institute (SRI) in Los Angeles and is currently the Director of Sexual Disorder Services for SRI parent company, Elements Behavioral Health.
"Additionally, the general public also has specific news consumption patterns upon hearing the 'shocking' news about their highly esteemed political figures, celebrities, and sports stars. Normally, their anger and frustration with this public figure upon hearing about his indiscretions turns to seeking answers. They want to understand why someone with so much power, money, and often intelligence could make what seems to be such a 'stupid' decision, or series of decisions. Once they have sufficient evidence of the accused figure's guilt or innocence, the mood quickly turns to finding solutions and forgiveness."
"The Journalist's Guide to Sex Scandals" specifically outlines these patterns of behavior and provides readers with an overview of the "7 Day Sex Scandal News Cycle"; it also offers resources and examples of how, historically, the media has told the story and been able to impact and engage the general public. The impetus for the book was Mr. Weiss' observation that, after hundreds of media interviews, the media and public are creatures of habit, and it would be an opportunity to educate people about a topic that is generally misunderstood.
The guidebook is currently available both digitally and in print for free for members of the media who provide the appropriate credentials. To secure a copy of "The Journalist's Guide to Sex Scandals" send an email request to Kristen Tischhauser: Kristen[at]talkTECHcomm.com.
