  Introduction
 

The Professional Assessment Center (PAC) is an outpatient service available to professionals and others who are uncertain if their sexual behaviors are compulsive in nature. The PAC is a multi-disciplinary program that is intended to help clarify diagnostic questions regarding sexual symptoms. The PAC was designed to meet the needs of individuals who are facing vocational sanctions because of their behaviors. Individuals facing personal consequences such as divorce may utilize PAC services.  Individuals may be self referred, or referred by licensing boards, employee assistance programs, therapists and lawyers.  The assessment process is voluntary and participants are encouraged to obtain additional opinions if they disagree with the outcome of their assessment. In addition to the assessment results, participants and referring agencies are also provided with clinical recommendations if warranted.
