At some point in our lives, we all engage in behaviors that are
risky, irrational, or unwise. We might find it exciting and
temporarily rewarding to gamble on the lottery or impulsively buy
an expensive gadget. But just as substances like alcohol and
narcotics have the potential to become addictive, so do certain
behaviors. A person addicted to gambling, shopping, the internet,
food, or picking at their skin may suffer shame in the shadows
while their behavior consumes time and energy and disrupts their
life. Some people with behavioral addictions lose their family,
job, savings, and home. With a physical basis in the brain,
behavioral addictions are serious illnesses-but simply willing
yourself to stop is usually not enough. Why Can't I Stop? is for
anyone who has a behavioral addiction, as well as their supportive
families and friends. Examining seven of the most common and
serious addictions-gambling, sex, stealing, internet use, shopping
and buying, hair pulling and skin picking, and food-the authors
bring together cutting-edge research to describe behavioral
addiction, its causes, and how it can be diagnosed and treated.
Featuring patient stories of behavioral addiction and recovery, as
well as information about treatment centers, this compassionate
guide will help readers better understand the complicated issues
surrounding these addictions and teach family members how to help
the addicted person while helping themselves.

Clinical Guide to Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders is a
complete, comprehensive overview of OCD and related disorders
(trichotillomania, excoriation disorder, hoarding disorder, body
dysmorphic disorder, and tic disorders). The book covers underlying
causes, clinical presentations and treatments. The book serves as a
primer for clinicians in training and those already in practice who
have little if any background in these disorders. It discusses the
pharmacological and psychosocial treatments for both adults and
children with an emphasis on providing practical information for
clinicians to use in their everyday practices. Based on the DSM-5,
the book uses the latest evidence-based information regarding
treatments including medication options, behavioral therapies,
alternative treatments, and recent developments in surgical
treatment. This book will provide students, residents, interns and
even veteran clinicians with a basic understanding of OCD and
disorders that are often associated with OCD. In addition, members
of the public and those affected by these disorders may use this
book to enhance their personal knowledge of the subject matter
presented.
If you feel you are no longer in control of your behavior, that
your actions may have interfered with your family, social, or
working life, this workbook can help you take back control.
Impulse control disorders (ICDs) include pathological gambling
(PG), kleptomania/compulsive stealing (KM), pyromania/fire setting
(PY), and compulsive buying (CB). ICDs are characterized by
difficulties resisting urges to engage in behaviors that are
excessive and/or ultimately harmful to oneself or others. ICDs are
relatively common and can be significantly harmful - even life
threatening. They can also be effectively treated with behavioral
therapies.
Overcoming Impulse Control Problems is written by researchers with
years of experience studying the psychology of impulse control
disorders. This book represents the treatment they have found to be
the most effective at controlling urges to gamble, steal, set
fires, and over-spend. It will also help you to better understand
the true nature of impulse control problems, and will help to
prevent future problems. Intended for use in conjunction with
supervised therapy, this workbook includes various self-assessmnets
and exercises designed to help you realize the truth behind your
actions, and to reach the ultimate goal of changing your impulsive
behaviors.
This workbook and the corresponding therapist guide form a complete
treatment package that will help you overcome your impulsive
behaviors and learn skills that are useful for a lifetime.
Impulse control disorders (ICDs) include pathological gambling,
kleptomania, trichotillomania, intermittent explosive disorder, and
pyromania, and are characterized by difficulties resisting urges to
engage in behaviors 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 behavioral and pharmacological therapies.
This guide includes all the information and materials necessary to
implement a successful cognitive behavioral therapy program for
impulse control disorders (CBT-ICD). This evidence-based
intervention was developed for the treatment of pathological
gambling, kleptomania, compulsive buying, and pyromania.
Originators of interventions for impulse control disorders, the
authors review the background and diagnostic information for each
ICD as well as available treatment outcome studies; the assessment
process for each ICD problem and the individual therapy sessions
are also reviewed. This format affords you the flexibility to treat
one or more ICD problem, and since they co-occur, this approach is
essential.
This therapist guide and its corresponding workbook form a complete
treatment package. It is a resource that no clinician specializing
in these disorders can do without.
