The Women's Sexual Addiction Screening Test (W-SAST)
Patrick Carnes Ph.D. & Sharon O'Hara MA
The Women's Sexual Screening Addiction Test (W-SAST) is designed to assist the assessment of sexually compulsive or "addictive" behavior. Answer each question yes or no. Depending on the particular pattern of symptoms:
1- 3 of these symptoms found to be true may be an area of concern and should be openly discussed with a friend or family member
More than 3 positive answers would indicate the need to consider more professional addiction and consideration of a 12 step support program like those for Sexual Addicts
6 or more true answers clearly presents a problem with potentially self abusive and/or dangerous consequences. Should seek treatment.
