Impulsivity helps explain clients’ poor or irrational behaviour

Getting your client affordable, online treatment can help prevent reoffending and be a useful court tool, writes Dr Yuliya Richard.
As a lawyer, it can be hard to sometimes to fathom why clients behave in a certain way. My research, and other research, shed some meaningful light on how and why impulse control issues are at the core of so many unhealthy habits and illegal behaviours.
Dysfunctional impulsivity can be the source of behaviour such as assault, domestic and family violence, theft, fraud, alcohol-related crime, road rage, driving under the influence, and employment-related misdemeanours. Impulsivity sabotages people’s self-control and decision-making.
