As new condition color illustrated softcover wraps. Includes Contributors; Preface and Index. Illustrated with diagrams and tables. "This may be the most definitive reference to date on the inpulse-control disorders, a set of disorders attracting increasing investigative and clinical attention stimulated in part by growing awareness of their high prevalence through recent epidemiologic surveys. This is a comprehensive compendium including intermittent explosive disorder, conduct disorder, trichotillomania, pathologic gambling, pyromania, as well as a number of other impulse disorders. Chapters for each disorder have wide-ranging coverage including historical aspects, epidemiology, neurobiology, pharmacotherapy, and psychotherapeutic treatment." -- Larry J. Siever, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, Executive Director, Mental Illness Research, Education & Clinical Center, MIRECC, Bronx Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Bronx, New York. ""Visibility of impulse-control disorders (ICDs) has never been greater than it is today, both in the field of psychiatry and in popular culture. Changes in both society and technology have contributed to the importance of conceptualizing, assessing, and treating ICDs. The groundbreaking Clinical Manual of Impulse-Control Disorders focuses on all of the different ICDs as a group. Beginning with the conceptualization and classification of ICDs, including the phenomenology, assessment, and classification of impulsivity as a core symptom domain that cuts across and drives the expression of these disorders, 25 recognized experts provide cutting-edge, concise, and practical information about intermittent explosive disorder, childhood conduct disorder and the anti-social spectrum, self-injurious behaviour, sexual compulsions, binge eating, trichotillomania, kleptomania, compulsive shopping, pyromania, pathological gambling, and problematic internet use. The remarkable Clinican Manual of Impulse-Control Disorders sheds light on the complex world of ICDs. As such, it will be welcomed not only by researchers and clinicians but also by individuals and family members coping with these disorders." -- from the rear outer cover.
