[quote=Anonymous]Love that in a thread titled “help me understand” shoplifting, most posters are ignoring the explanations from former shoplifters that might provide insight in order to shame them. Not particularly helpful to OP or her son in terms of ending this behavior. Shoplifting has been understood as a psychological issue for a long time, and most experts agree that the best way to resolve it is to provide therapeutic treatment to address the problem. When you shame and humiliate compulsive shoplifters, it doesn’t stop them (it’s a compulsion, so not something they necessarily choose, though they might retroactively justify it). Instead, they will just conceal it or lie about it because the shame is too intense. OP, approaching this from a place of trying to understand is really healthy. Best of luck to you and your son.[/quote]
