Advertising Information Impulse-Control Disorders Difficulty controlling ones impulses occurs in many disorders; especially Substance Related Disorders, Conduct Disorders and Psychotic Disorders. However the classification of Impulse-Control Disorders is reserved for those disorders in which the defining characteristic is the inability to inhibit an impulse which might be harmful to oneself or others. There are five distinct Impulse Disorders. Intermittent Explosive Disorder is evidenced by episodes of acting out aggression and causing bodily harm and/or property destruction. Kleptomania is evidenced by acting out the impulse to misappropriate objects without the motive of monetary gain. Pyromania is evidenced by setting fires for hedonistic purposes. Pathological Gambling is evidenced by habitual, self destructive gambling. Tricotillomania is evidenced by recurrent hair pulling resulting in significant hair loss with a motivation of self gratification or tension release.

Impulse Control and Behavior Disorders As humans, many of our impulses are towards bad behavior. That, in itself, is not a problem. The problem begins when there is not enough control to prevent us from engaging in behaviors that are harmful or socially unacceptable. Disorders of impulse control stem either from a lack of internal control or a lack of external control or both. When external control is lacking, that's the easiest to treat. We work first with the parents to establish external controls for their children, which turn into internal controls as the children mature. However, this is the form of treatment that parents hate the most because it means they pretty much have to do all the work. It also means that parents have to take responsibility for their children's behavior and often this is not easy to do. We at Down To Earth recognize that most parents are kind, caring, well-intentioned people who are trying to do the best they can for their children. We try very hard to be educational, not critical. When internal control is lacking, that's a little more tricky because it can be hard to tell why internal control is missing. It could be a physical problem within the child. It could be an emotional problem within the child. It could be simply that external control wasn't established and therefore, internal control wasn't established yet, either.

PDF version of: This Article (212KB) This Issue (1.23MB) Classification of Pathological Gambling as an Impulse Control Disorder G. Ron Frisch, PhD Problem Gambling Research Group Psychology Department, University of Windsor Windsor, Ontario, Canada E-mail: frisch@uwindsor.ca Abstract The purpose of this paper is to examine the appropriateness of the current classification of pathological gambling as an Impulse Control Disorder. Controversy over the current categorization is as heated as it has ever been with more research suggesting that gambling is in fact not strictly an impulse-driven behaviour. Research also shows that pathological gambling is similar in presentation and treatment outcome to other addictive behaviours such as alcohol and substance abuse. Given such findings, it is arguable that pathological gambling needs to be re-examined in terms of where it fits into a psychiatric classification system. Introduction The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (3rd ed., 1980) was the first to treat compulsive or pathological gambling as a separate condition labelling it a "mental disorder" (Levy & Feinberg, 1991). The DSM-III-R (1987) categorized pathological gambling as one of several Impulse Control Disorders, vaguely defined as mental disorders characterized by an irresistible impulse to perform harmful acts (McElroy, Hudson, Pope, Keck & Aizley, 1992). People with impulse control disorders have three central characteristics:
