Rate My Professor Shane Kraus

A licensed clinical psychologist, Kraus researches psychopathology, substance use disorders, gambling disorders, sexual trauma, and compulsive sexual behavior disorder using behavioral, epidemiological, and neurobiological methods to identify factors contributing to addictive behaviors and co-occurring psychiatric disorders among high-risk populations such as U.S. military veterans and young adults. He participated in the World Health Organization working group that established diagnostic criteria for compulsive sexual behavior disorder in the ICD-11. His gambling disorder research develops effective screening approaches for problem gambling. Notable publications include "Compulsive sexual behaviour disorder in the ICD-11" (World Psychiatry, 2018), "Should compulsive sexual behavior be considered an addiction?" (Addiction, 2016), "Which conditions should be considered as disorders in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) designation of 'other specified disorders due to addictive behaviors'?" (Journal of Behavioral Addictions, 2020), "Self-reported addiction to pornography in a nationally representative sample: The roles of use habits, religiousness, and moral incongruence" (Journal of Behavioral Addictions, 2019), and "Sexual addiction 25 years on: a systematic and methodological review of empirical literature and an agenda for future research" (Clinical Psychology Review, 2020). With more than 9,800 citations on Google Scholar, his scholarship has advanced behavioral addictions research. Kraus serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Behavioral Addictions, Sexual Health & Compulsivity, and Journal of Gambling Studies.
