For someone with an impulse control disorder, "just say no" isn"t useful advice. Grant (psychiatry, University of Minnesota) covers the many aspects of this disorder and how it relates to drug addiction, kleptomania, explosive violent behavior, binge eating, gambling and other obsessive behaviors. He reviews the current literature on the topic, gives a number of case studies and suggests treatment methods. This is useful both for clinicians and those who are living with someone suffering from any form of this condition. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
