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 impulse-control disorders (ICDs). Twenty-five recognized experts provide cutting-edge, concise, and practical information about ICDs, beginning with the phenomenology, assessment, and classification of impulsivity as a core symptom domain that cuts across and drives the expression of these complex disorders. Provides practical information about intermitten explosive disorder, childhood conduct disorder and the antisocial spectrum, self-injurious behavior, sexual compulsion, binge eating, trichotillomania, kleptomania, compulsive shopping, pyromania, pathological gambling, and problematic Internet use.
