RESULTS: The authors present some suggested treatment approaches
CONCLUSION: Greater awareness of the prevalence and social consequences of compulsive shopping behaviour highlights the need for treatment and for educational resources for clinicians and the general public. (Int J Psych Clin Pract 2002; 6: 65-68).
