If you feel that you are no longer in control of your behavior, and your actions negatively affect relationships with family members, friends and work colleagues, then this book will help you take control of the situation. Impulse control disorders include gambling, kleptomania, pyromania, and oniomania (shopaholism). Such disorders are characterized by an inability to resist attraction to excessive or dangerous behavior for oneself and others. They are widespread and can negatively affect all areas of life. However, these problems can be effectively treated with behavioral therapy.
