Behavioral Addictions: Criteria, Evidence, and Treatment – eBook PDF
DSM-V broke new ground in May of 2013, labeling a new disorder called “behavioral addiction.” Clinicians instantly wanted to know: how is a behavioral addiction different from an impulse control disorder? What are the criteria for determining that some behaviors are addictions instead of impulses? What, if anything, does this mean in terms of effective treatment?
Behavioral Addictions, (PDF) is the first and most authoritative textbook ever written on the topic of behavioral addictions. This comprehensive work describes the criteria used to determine addiction, the suggestion for identifying assorted behaviors as addictions, and the evidence-based treatment for each.
