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.

Impulsivity is a multidimensional personality trait, which encompasses such tendencies as inability to complete tasks, lack of planning before acting, seeking out new and thrilling sensations and experiences, and risk-taking in response to extreme emotional states. These traits have been theorized to be important in many research domains, and years of research have further validated the importance of this constellation of traits. This book addresses some of the most up-to-date approaches to research with impulsivity and reviews the current state of the research concerning the role of impulsivity-related constructs for a wide range of psychological outcomes, including brain waves, addictive behaviors, neurobiological underpinnings and sleep disturbances.

Les manifestations actuelles de la souffrance psychique - hyperactivité, anorexie mentale, addictions de toutes sortes, etc. - mettent à mal les repères habituels des professionnels du soin. Elles ne sont plus centrées sur un sujet qui demande de l'aide mais « déballées » à qui veut s'en charger. Elles ne sont plus liées aux difficultés d'un sujet à tenir compte d'un fantasme qui puisse organiser sa vie psychique mais à l'émergence désordonnée de pulsions qui l'agitent. Jean-Marie Forget analyse ici, à partir de son expérience avec des enfants et des adolescents, cette nouvelle clinique des pulsions qu'il lie à l'évolution du discours social. Il donne des outils de compréhension qui devraient permettre aux professionnels de ne pas stigmatiser ces manifestations et d'en saisir l'enjeu pour en favoriser la résolution.
