Mental Health Treatment For Impulse Control And Behavior Disorders - Attention D
Dr. Marlo J. Archer's description of treatment for children and teenagers.
http://www.drmarlo.com/file20.html

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Education Research Interests and Areas of Expertise Our group is presently involved in the drug treatment research of impulse-control disorders. The disorders include pathological gambling, compulsive shopping, and kleptomania. We have conducted a series of open and double-blind clinical trials to assess the relative efficacy and safety of various pharmacological agents in the treatment of these disorders. Recently, we have focused our efforts on the study of naltrexone in the treatment of gambling and other impulse-control disorders. Currently, scientists at our medical school are trying to elucidate the basic mechanisms involved in the naltrexone and over-the-counter analgesics interaction and associated hepatic transaminase elevations. It is hoped that this knowledge would provide a safer and more effective application of naltrexone in the treatment of impulse-control disorders.

http://www.camh.net/egambling/issue3/research/

Extractions: E-mail: frisch@uwindsor.ca 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. 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:

EEG Biofeedback Aids Impulse Control - AAAS 2000 Presentation

http://www.biofeedbacklearning.com/impulseCtl.html

Extractions: appears in April issue of Clinical Psychiatry News (Note: David Kaiser, Ph.D. was principal investigator of this research; the reporter fails to credit him. This research was just published in the Journal of Neurotherapy, Vol 4, No 1, 2000) WASHINGTON - Impulse control and attentiveness improved after 20 sessions of EEG biofeedback in 85% of 1,089 children and adults with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and other attentional and behavioral disorders, Siegfried Othmer, Ph.D., said in a poster presentation at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. EEG biofeedback, also known as neurofeedback, "has shown great promise in clinical practice, but the lack of large trials has limited its acceptance within the medical community. This large study should help assuage this criticism," Dr. Othmer said in an interview at the meeting. 'BIOFEEDBACK'S success in [refractory] cases shows how robust the intervention is in impacting attentional mechanisms.'' In a sense they learn to quiet their minds as well as their bodies," Dr. Othmer said. Subjective reports, clinical evaluations, and repeat TOVA testing after the intervention showed that 85% of subjects improved, regardless of whether they had received a formal diagnosis of ADHD. The greatest improvement occurred in those who had the worst scores at study entry. "In subjects who initially had poor TOVA scores in errors of omission, which measures attentiveness, and errors of commission, which measures impulse control, scores rose by 2 standard deviations," he said. A subset of 157 subjects who continued biofeedback therapy for at least 40 sessions showed continued improvement throughout the additional sessions, Dr. Othmer noted.

Extractions: Each of the above listed behaviors is often referred to as shadow syndromes. Individuals who participate in these behaviors with significant frequency put themselves at significant risk. While most of us do something foolish once in a while, a subset of individuals develop this high-risk taking behavior pattern with increasing frequency. Related Features Articles When should you seek counseling? Websites NEW Student Assistance Program CampusBlues.com SchoolBlues.com StopLoneliness.com Clearly, high-risk behavior can decrease the quality of a person's life and create tension in their relationships with others. Any individual with these difficulties responds well to counseling intervention. A cognitive behavioral approach to help individuals make better choices is often very effective. Research has also begun to show that there may be a genetic predisposition to such behavior patterns. Individuals who demonstrate continual patterns of high-risk may be deficient in neurotransmitters and cortisol. In addition to counseling interventions, individuals who demonstrate high-risk behavioral patterns often respond well to antidepressants. These medications boost the level of neurotransmitters in an individual's system. This increase in neurotransmitters seems to allow individuals literally to be a little more "thoughtful", and consequently, cautious in the choices that they make. For most individuals the seratonin reuptake inhibitors are the category of medications that seem most appropriate.
