Reviews

[Ashley Holstrom · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book deals with, as the title suggests, impulse control disorders as a whole. Trichotillomania is in the same category as kleptomania and pyromania and gambling and road rage. This book is more of a general overview of these disorders and lightly touches on coping mechanisms. Not my favorite.
