First, for this class and all others in the program, you should only use professional sources.
Doing a “Google” search and citing general websites is not appropriate for graduate-level or
professional work. However, most of our clients and their families will use the “Google it”
approach. For this assignment (this one only), I am asking you to act like a client or general
consumer by checking out internet sources.
For many people with disorders, one of the first lines of “treatment” they voluntarily pursue is to
look for internet resources. Do a search on the internet for one of the impulse control disorders.
Review at least 3 of the sources you find. Identify the type of information available, research
support, level of professional application (and validity), who the target audience is (professional,
family member, individual…), and the general usefulness of the resource. Be sure to provide a
reference list for the sources.
