Kleptomania is a debilitating impulse control problem that responds well to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Kleptomania is a disease that affects a tiny percentage of the general population but a far higher percentage of clinical patients. This was accomplished thanks to the findings of a case study. A 20-year-old college student is the subject of this case. The initial complaint was that she had stolen from others as a youngster, with other symptoms that matched the DSM-5 criteria for kleptomania diagnosis.
The goal of this study is to identify the symptoms of kleptomania as well as the factors that contribute to the disorder. In addition to using CBT approaches to treat kleptomania, psychological analytic theory procedures were used.
The clinical interview, thematic apperception test (TAT), and the neuroticism characteristic from the big five personality traits were all used in this study. With these assessments, the origins and severity of the condition were assessed, as well as the behaviour driven and neuroticism trait.
The patient was treated for kleptomania symptoms and neuroticism trait using CBT techniques and tactics, as well as psychological analysis theory procedures (anxiety, anger, hostility, depression, consciousness-self, impulsiveness, stress and vulnerability). The patient regained self-control, negative thinking control, and emotional stability following treatment. The study emphasises the importance of utilising appropriate educational approaches with children and adolescents, particularly gifted ones, in order to avoid severe punishment. Furthermore, it is critical to treat kleptomania as a sickness rather than a criminal offence. Projective assessments and some psychological analytic approaches may be used in conjunction with CBT.Author(S) Details
