| Opplysninger | The case of a 77-year-old woman first diagnosed with kleptomania ispresented to indicate a possible late-onset course of this disorder.Particularly striking about this patient's history of shopliftingbehaviors was the absence of an onset prior to the age of 73. Herpattern of stealing did not begin at an early age, and was notsporadic or episodic over the course of several years. The treatmentcourse and patient outcome are discussed in light of DSM-IVdiagnostic criteria. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
