Compulsive Buying disorder a review of the evidence
Cns Spectrums, 2007Co-Authors: Donald W BlackAbstract:Compulsive Buying disorder is characterized by excessive or poorly controlled preoccupations, urges, or behaviors regarding shopping and spending that lead to subjective distress or impaired functioning. Compulsive Buying disorder is estimated to have a lifetime prevalence of 5.8% in the United States general adult population. In clinical settings, most individuals with Compulsive Buying disorder are women (approximately 80%). This gender difference may be artifactual. Compulsive Buying disorder is typically chronic or intermittent, with an age of onset in the late teens or early 20s. Comorbid mood and anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, eating disorders, and other disorders of impulse control are common, as are Axis II disorders. The disorder occurs worldwide, mainly in developed countries with market-based economies, and it tends to run in families with mood disorders and substance abuse. There is no standard treatment for Compulsive Buying disorder, but group cognitive-behavioral models seem promising, and psychopharmacologic treatments are being actively studied. Other treatment options include simplicity circles, 12-step programs, financial counseling, bibliotherapy, marital therapy, and financial counseling. Directions for future research are discussed.

Compulsive Buying disorder definition assessment epidemiology and clinical management
CNS Drugs, 2001Co-Authors: Donald W BlackAbstract:Compulsive Buying disorder is characterised by excessive or poorly controlled preoccupations, urges or behaviours regarding shopping and spending, which lead to adverse consequences. Compulsive Buying disorder has been estimated to affect from 2 to 8% of the general adult population in the US; 80 to 95% of those affected are female. Onset occurs in the late teens or early twenties, and the disorder is generally chronic. Psychiatric comorbidity is frequent, particularly mood, anxiety, substance use, eating and personality disorders. Treatment has not been well delineated, but individual and group psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy and 12-step programmes may be helpful. Debt consolidation and credit counselling will be appropriate for many individuals who have Compulsive Buying disorder. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) re- uptake inhibitors may help some patients regulate their Buying impulses. Self-help books are also available.

Compulsive Buying a review
The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 1996Co-Authors: Donald W BlackAbstract:Compulsive Buying has a long history. Described nearly a century ago by Kraepelin, and later by Bleuler, the disorder has been of interest to psychoanalysts and to the popular media. Recent interest has been rekindled by consumer behavior research that shows it to be widespread and psychiatric research that shows it to have the earmarks of a psychiatric disorder. The author reviews the history, definition, epidemiology, family history, etiology, clinical symptoms, and treatments of Compulsive Buying. Preliminary data from an open-label study in which subjects received fluvoxamine are also presented.

emotional reactivity and self regulation in relation to Compulsive Buying
Personality and Individual Differences, 2010Co-Authors: Laurence Claes, James E. Mitchell, Ronald J Faber, Patricia Bijttebier, Frederique Van Den Eynde, Martina De ZwaanAbstract:Compulsive Buying has received increased research attention in the last decade. This study explores the relationship between Compulsive Buying and reactive and regulative temperament while controlling for depression and materialism. One hundred and thirty female psychology students filled out the Compulsive Buying Scale, the Behavioral Inhibition/Activation Scales, and the Effortful Control Scale/Self Control Scale, the depression scale of the Patient Health Questionnaire and the Materialistic Values Scale. Compulsive Buying was explained by high materialism, high levels of behavioral activation, and low levels of effortful control, even after controlling for depressive symptoms. Given our results, future work is needed to examine behavioral control strategies in the treatment of Compulsive Buying.

Latent profile analysis and comorbidity in a sample of individuals with Compulsive Buying disorder.
Psychiatry research, 2010Co-Authors: Astrid Mueller, James E. Mitchell, Ross D. Crosby, Kelly C. Berg, Martina De ZwaanAbstract:The aims of this study were to perform a latent profile analysis in a sample of individuals with Compulsive Buying, to explore the psychiatric comorbidity, and to examine whether or not more severe Compulsive Buying is associated with greater comorbidity. Compulsive Buying measures and SCID data obtained from 171 patients with Compulsive Buying behavior who had participated in treatment trials at different clinical centers in the U.S. and Germany were analyzed. Latent profile analysis produced two clusters. Overall, cluster 2, included subjects with more severe Compulsive Buying, and was characterized by higher lifetime as well as current prevalence rates for Axis I and impulse control disorders. Nearly 90% of the total sample reported at least one lifetime Axis I diagnosis, particularly mood (74%) and anxiety (57%) disorders. Twenty-one percent had a comorbid impulse control disorder, most commonly intermittent explosive disorder (11%). Half of the sample presented with at least one current Axis I disorder, most commonly anxiety disorders (44%). Given the substantial psychiatric comorbidity, it is reasonable to question whether or not Compulsive Buying represents a distinct psychiatric entity vs. an epiphenomenon of other psychiatric disorders.

Compulsive Buying and psychiatric comorbidity
Psychotherapie Psychosomatik Medizinische Psychologie, 2009Co-Authors: Astrid Mueller, James E. Mitchell, Barbara Muhlhans, Andrea Silbermann, Ulrike Muller, Christian Mertens, Thomas Horbach, Martina De ZwaanAbstract:Compulsive Buying is an excessive behavior that has begun to receive attention from researchers in recent years. The current study provides an overview of research on Compulsive Buying and examines the psychiatric co-morbidity in a German female treatment seeking Compulsive Buying sample in comparison with age and gender-matched normal Buying control groups. Thirty women suffering from Compulsive Buying disorder, 30 community controls, and 30 bariatric surgery candidates were assessed with the German versions of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV diagnoses (SCID). Women with Compulsive Buying disorder showed significantly higher prevalence rates of affective, anxiety, and eating disorders compared to community controls, and suffered significantly more often from affective and anxiety disorders compared to bariatric surgery candidates. The Compulsive Buying group presented with the highest rates of personality disorders, most commonly avoidant, depressive, obsessive-Compulsive, and borderline personality disorder, and reported the highest prevalence rates of other impulse control disorders, especially for intermittent explosive disorder. The findings suggest an elevated psychiatric co-morbidity in patients with Compulsive Buying disorder.

hoarding in a Compulsive Buying sample
Behaviour Research and Therapy, 2007Co-Authors: Ulrike Mueller, James E. Mitchell, Andrea Silbermann, Christian Mertens, Patricia Albert, Martina De ZwaanAbstract:Previous research has indicated that many Compulsive buyers also suffer from Compulsive hoarding. The present work specifically examined hoarding in a Compulsive Buying sample. Sixty-six treatment-seeking Compulsive buyers were assessed prior to entering a group therapy for Compulsive Buying using the Compulsive Buying Scale (CBS), the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS)-Shopping Version, the Compulsive Acquisition Scale (CAS), the German-CBS, the Saving Inventory-Revised (SI-R), the Maudsley Obsessive Compulsive Inventory (MOCI), the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I (SCID). Inclusion criteria were current problems with Compulsive Buying according to the proposed diagnostic criteria for Compulsive Buying by McElroy, Keck, Pope, Smith, and Strakowski [(1994). Compulsive Buying: A report of 20 cases. Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 55, 242-248]. Our results support the assumption that many but not all Compulsive buyers suffer from Compulsive hoarding. A significant association between the SI-R and the Compulsive Buying measures CBS, Y-BOCS-SV, German-CBS, and the CAS-Buy subscale was found, which is mostly caused by the SI-R subscale acquisition. The SI-R subscales clutter and difficulty discarding were more closely associated with the CAS-Free subscale and with obsessive-Compulsive symptoms. Hoarding Compulsive buyers reported more severe Buying symptoms and obsessive-Compulsive symptoms and presented with a higher psychiatric co-morbidity, especially any current affective, anxiety and eating disorder. Specific therapeutic interventions for Compulsive buyers who also report Compulsive hoarding appear indicated.

cognitive behavioral therapy for Compulsive Buying disorder
Behaviour Research and Therapy, 2006Co-Authors: James E. Mitchell, Ross D. Crosby, Melissa Burgard, Ronald J Faber, Martina De ZwaanAbstract:To our knowledge, no psychotherapy treatment studies for Compulsive Buying have been published. The authors conducted a pilot trial comparing the efficacy of a group cognitive behavioral intervention designed for the treatment of Compulsive Buying to a waiting list control. Twenty-eight subjects were assigned to receive active treatment and 11 to the waiting list control group. The results at the end of treatment showed significant advantages for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) over the waiting list in reductions in the number of Compulsive Buying episodes and time spent Buying, as well as scores on the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale--Shopping Version and the Compulsive Buying Scale. Improvement was well-maintained at 6-month follow-up. The pilot data suggests that a cognitive behavioral intervention can be quite effective in the treatment of Compulsive Buying disorder. This model requires further testing.

are all facets of impulsivity related to self reported Compulsive Buying behavior
Personality and Individual Differences, 2008Co-Authors: Joel Billieux, Martial Van Der Linden, Marie My Lien Rebetez, Lucien RochatAbstract:Compulsive Buying is defined as uncontrolled and excessive purchases leading to personal and family distress. While Compulsive Buying is generally considered to be an impulse control disorder, very few studies have explored its relationships with the multidimensional construct of impulsivity. Consequently, the aim of the present study is to investigate the role of the various components of impulsivity in Compulsive Buying. To this end, 150 volunteer participants from the community were screened using a questionnaire assessing Compulsive Buying, and the French version of the UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale. This scale identifies four distinct components associated with impulsive behaviors: urgency, lack of premeditation, lack of perseverance, and sensation seeking. The results showed that (1) Compulsive Buying is positively correlated with three facets of impulsivity (urgency, lack of perseverance and lack of premeditation), and (2) multiple linear regression analysis revealed urgency to be the only significant predictor of Compulsive Buying tendencies when gender, age, educational level and depression were controlled for. Those findings are discussed in light of the psychological processes underlying the various components of impulsivity in relation to the occurrence of Compulsive Buying behaviors.

Compulsive Buying features and characteristics of addiction
Neuropathology of Drug Addictions and Substance Misuse#R##N#Volume 3: General Processes and Mechanisms Prescription Medications Caffeine and Areca Pol, 2016Co-Authors: Aviv Weinstein, Mark D Griffiths, Michel LejoyeuxAbstract:Abstract Compulsive Buying is chronic, repetitive purchasing that becomes a primary response to negative events and feelings. It is associated with craving and withdrawal and it is characterized by euphoria and/or relief from negative emotions. The prevalence rates of Compulsive Buying vary between 1% and 8% worldwide. Most studies report higher prevalence rates in females than males. Compulsive Buying can result in substantial debts, legal problems, personal distress, and marital conflict. Empirical research demonstrates that Compulsive Buying has psychiatric comorbidity with depression, impulse control disorders, eating disorders, alcohol dependence, nicotine dependence, and anxiety. Psychobiological, pharmacological, and physiological studies on Compulsive Buying are needed since most studies are based on self-report methods (surveys, interviews, etc.). Few controlled studies have assessed the effects of pharmacological treatment on Compulsive Buying and there is no evidence that pharmacological treatment of Compulsive Buying is effective.

Characteristics of online Compulsive Buying in Parisian students.
Addictive Behaviors, 2014Co-Authors: David Duroy, Pauline Gorse, Michel LejoyeuxAbstract:Abstract Background Online Compulsive Buying is a little-studied behavioral disorder. Aims To better understand its clinical aspects by focusing on (i) prevalence rate, (ii) correlation with other addictions, (iii) influence of means of access, (iv) motivations to shop to the internet and (v) financial and time-consuming consequences. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting and participants 200 students in two different centers of Paris Diderot University — Paris VII. Measurements Brief self-questionnaires, to screen online Compulsive Buying, internet addiction, alcohol and tobacco use disorders, to rate frequency of online purchase by private-sale websites, by advertising banners, by mobile phone or to avoid stores, to rate motivations like “more discreet”, “lonelier”, “larger variety of products”, “more immediate positive feelings”, and “cheaper” and to assess the largest amount of online purchasing and the average proportion of monthly earnings, and time spent, both day and night. Findings Prevalence of online Compulsive Buying was 16.0%, while prevalence of internet addiction was 26.0%. We found no significant relationship with cyberdependence, alcohol or tobacco use disorders. Online Compulsive buyers accessed more often shopping online by private-sale websites (56.2% vs 30.5%, p Conclusion Online Compulsive Buying seems to be a distinctive behavioral disorder with specific factors of loss of control and motivations, and overall financial and time-consuming impacts. More research is needed to better characterize it.

study of Compulsive Buying in depressed patients
The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 1997Co-Authors: Michel Lejoyeux, Valerie Tassain, Jacquelyn Solomon, Jean AdesAbstract:BACKGROUND: Compulsive Buying is defined by the presence of repetitive impulsive and excessive Buying leading to personal and familial distress. Patients with this disorder also suffer from mood disorder in 50% to 100% of the cases studied, and antidepressants help to decrease the frequency and the severity of uncontrolled Buying. To define the correlation between Compulsive Buying and depression, we assessed this behavior among 119 inpatients answering to DSM-III-R criteria for major depressive episode. Additionally, we evaluated for comorbidity in the patients suffering from Compulsive Buying and in those free from this disorder. Impulsivity and sensation seeking were also compared in the two groups. METHOD: Diagnosis of Compulsive Buying was made using standardized criteria and a specific rating scale. Diagnosis of depression and assessment of comorbidity were investigated using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview and a modified version of the Minnesota Impulsive Disorders Interview. All patients answered the Zuckerman Sensation-Seeking Scale and the Barrat Impulsivity Rating Scale. RESULTS: The prevalence of the disorder was 31.9%; 38 of the 119 depressed patients were diagnosed as Compulsive buyers. Patients from the Compulsive Buying group were younger in age, more often women than men, and more frequently unmarried. They presented more often than others with recurrent depression (relative risk = 1.4), disorders associated with deficits in impulse control such as kleptomania (relative risk = 8.5) or bulimia (relative risk = 2.8), benzodiazepine abuse or dependence disorder (relative risk = 4.7), and two or more dependence disorders (relative risk = 1.99). Subscores for experience seeking using the Zuckerman Sensation-Seeking Scale were significantly higher (p = .04) and scores of impulsivity were much higher (p < .0001) than corresponding scores in the group without Compulsive Buying behavior. CONCLUSION: Compulsive Buying is frequent among depressed patients. In most cases, the behavior is associated with other impulse control disorders or dependence disorders and a high level of impulsivity.
