In the last decade, much needed attention and research has been
focused on the group of psychiatric conditions termed 'impulse
control disorders' or ICDs. Pathological gambling, compulsive
shopping, kleptomania, hypersexuality, Internet 'addiction', among
other disorders, are characterized by a recurrent urge to perform a
repetitive behavior that is gratifying in the moment but causes
significant long-term distress and disability. Despite the high
rate of co-morbidity with obsessive compulsive disorder, ICDs are
now clearly distinguished from these disorders with a unique
clinical approach for diagnosis and treatment. A wide array of
psychopharmacologic and psychotherapeutic options is now available
for treating these disorders. Drs Elias Aboujaoude and Lorrin M.
Koran have collated the world's foremost experts in ICD research
and treatment to create a comprehensive book on the frequency,
evolution, treatment, and related public policy, public health,
forensic, and medical issues of these disorders. This is the first
book to bring together medical and social knowledge bases related
to impulse control disorders.
