“…[120][121][122] A parallel, sometimes overlapping, literature on repetitive self-injurious behavior has also developed. [123][124][125][126] Relatively little research has specifically focused on attempting to integrate the nosology of stereotypies with its neurobiology. Thus, the extent to which different kinds of stereotypic behavior (e.g.…”

In DSM-IV-TR, trichotillomania (TTM) is classified as an impulse control disorder (not classified elsewhere), skin picking lacks its own diagnostic category (but might be diagnosed as an impulse control disorder not otherwise specified), and stereotypic movement disorder is classified as a disorder usually first diagnosed in infancy, childhood, or adolescence. ICD-10 classifies TTM as a habit and impulse disorder, and includes stereotyped movement disorders in a section on other behavioral and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence. This article provides a focused review of nosological issues relevant to DSM-V, given recent empirical findings. This review presents a number of options and preliminary recommendations to be considered for DSM-V: (1) Although TTM fits optimally into a category of body-focused repetitive behavioral disorders, in a nosology comprised of relatively few major categories it fits best within a category of motoric obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders, (2) available evidence does not support continuing to include (current) diagnostic criteria B and C for TTM in DSM-V, (3) the text for TTM should be updated to describe subtypes and forms of hair pulling, (4) there are persuasive reasons for referring to TTM as "hair pulling disorder (trichotillomania)," (5) diagnostic criteria for skin picking disorder should be included in DSM-V or in DSM-Vs Appendix of Criteria Sets Provided for Further Study, and (6) the diagnostic criteria for stereotypic movement disorder should be clarified and simplified, bringing them in line with those for hair pulling and skin picking disorder.

“…Given that challenging behaviors occur at high rates among young children with ASD, these methods should further augment the overall intervention paradigm. Brief periods of time-out, behavioral momentum, and small peer group engagement may also be methods to consider more extensively (Matson and LoVullo 2008).…”

Early intensive behavioral interventions have become a very popular treatment in the field of autism spectrum disorders. Given the rapidly expanding use of these methods and the amount of money and resources being devoted to these programs, analyses of these practices is warranted. This paper looks at treatment studies on the topic. The children treated were largely diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified or autism diagnoses. One-to-one training was typical as were structured curriculums. The implications of these practices are discussed along with assertions about future direction for research.

“…DRO has been relatively less effective than other procedures in successfully treating serious challenging behavior, such as selfinjurious behavior (Matson and LoVullo 2008). To the authors' knowledge, there is no experimental research examining DRO procedures in isolation to treat ISB.…”

Some individuals with developmental disabilities develop inappropriate sexual behaviors such as public masturbation, disrobing, and touching others in an unwanted sexual manner. Such acts are problematic given the taboo nature of the behaviors and the potential for significant negative consequences, such as restricted community access, injury, and legal ramifications. Therefore, it is necessary to equip caregivers and practitioners with effective treatment options. The purpose of this paper is to review studies that have evaluated behavioral treatments to reduce inappropriate sexual behavior in persons with developmental disabilities. The strengths and weaknesses of each treatment are reviewed, and a model for treatment selection is provided.
