Few empirical investigations have been performed in kleptomania, particularly with respect to gender-related influences.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>: From 2001\u20132007, 95 adult subjects (n = 27 [28.4%] males) with<jats:italic>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition<\/jats:italic>-defined kleptomania were assessed on sociodemographics and clinical characteristics, including symptom severity, comorbidity, and functional impairment, to identify gender-related differences.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>: Men and women showed substantial symptom severity and functional impairment.
