AIMEN:

To describe, in the context of DSM-V, how a focus on Sucht and compulsion is emerging in the consideration of pathological Prostituéiert (PG).

METHODS:

A systematic literature iwwerpréiwen of evidence for the proposed re-classification of PG as an Sucht.

RESULTATER:

En Donnéeën zielen:

(i) phenomenological models of Sucht highlighting a motivational shift from impulsivity to compulsivity associated with a protracted withdrawal syndrome and blurring of the ego-syntonic/ego-dystonic dichotomy;

(ii) common neurotransmitter (dopamine, serotonin) contributions to PG and substance use disorders (SUDs);

(iii) neuroimaging support for shared neurocircuitries between ‘behavioural’ and substance addictions and differences between obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), impulse control disorders (ICDs) and SUDs;

(iv) genetic findings more closely related to endophenotypic constructs such as compulsivity and impulsivity than to psychiatric disorders;

(v) psychological measures such as harm avoidance identifying a closer association between SUDs and PG than with OCD;

(vi) community and pharmacotherapeutic trials data supporting a closer association between SUDs and PG than with OCD. Adapted behavioural therapies, such as exposure therapy, appear applicable to OCD, PG or SUDs, suggesting some commonalities across disorders.

CONCLUSIONS:

PG shares more similarities with SUDs than with OCD. Similar to the investigation of impulsivity, studies of compulsivity hold promising insights concerning the course, differential diagnosis and treatment of PG, SUDs, and OCD.
