[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I have no idea at what age this manifests, but maybe she is a kleptomaniac. I'd definitely look into the possibility. [/quote] Gee. That was not very helpful advice.[/quote] Why? She is stealing things she doesn't need and this is what kleptomaniacs do. [/quote] No. People can steal things they don't need without being kleptomaniacs. Kleptomania means a compulsion to steal that the person cannot control, an overwhelming impulse that is beyond the power of the individual, almost as if they have been programmed to steal. People often steal things they don't really need, esp. affluent people. Look at Winona Ryder. No one ever said she was a kleptomaniac.[/quote]
