Grant, Jon E. (Author). Donahue, Christopher B. (Added Author). Odlaug, Brian L. (Added Author).

Summary: Impulse control disorders (ICDs) include pathological gambling, kleptomania, trichotillomania, intermittent explosive disorder, and pyromania, and are characterised by difficulties resisting urges to engage in behaviours that are excessive or ultimately harmful to oneself or others. ICDs are relatively common among adolescents and adults, carry significant morbidity and mortality, and can be effectively treated with behavioural and pharmacological therapies. This guide includes all the information and materials necessary to implement a successful cognitive behavioural therapy programme.
