Treating Impulse Control Disorders: A Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Program, Therapist Guide

Jon E. Grant, Christopher B. Donahue, and Brian L. Odlaug

Abstract

Impulse control disorders (ICDs) include pathological gambling, kleptomania, trichotillomania, intermittent explosive disorder, and pyromania, and are characterized by difficulties resisting urges to engage in behaviors that are excessive or ultimately harmful to the self or others. ICDs are relatively common among adolescents and adults, carry significant morbidity and mortality, and can be effectively treated with behavioral and pharmacological therapies. This online guide includes all the information and materials necessary to implement a successful cognitive behavioral therapy program for impulse control disorders (CBT-ICD). This format affords therapists the flexibility to treat one or more ICD problem, as it is common to find more than one ICD in a patient. This evidence-based intervention was developed for the treatment of pathological gambling, kleptomania, compulsive buying, and pyromania. It reviews the background and diagnostic information for each ICD as well as available treatment outcome studies; the assessment process for each ICD problem and the individual therapy sessions are also covered.

Keywords: impulse control disorders, ICDs, pathological gambling, kleptomania, trichotillomania, intermittent exposure disorder, pyromania, cognitive-behavioral therapy, CBT
