Impulsivity features in contemporary descriptions of many psychiatric disorders, and is also a key element in the clinical risk assessment of violence. By examining the nature, assessment and treatment of impulsive conduct, this volume brings together contributions from researchers and clinicians in both mental health and correctional settings. Chapters seek to illuminate current understanding of impulsive behaviour from conceptual, legal, and biological perspectives, and address the challenges of describing and measuring it. With special emphasis on how the likelihood of future violent or destructive behaviour can best be gauged in specific cases, the volume includes several risk-assessment tools.
