Question: My family has recently become aware that my brother's wife has been stealing - in shops, from the family, everywhere. She was treated at hospital for kleptomania. She also abuses pills and has sold stolen goods at a pawn shop. But research says that kleptomaniacs do it for the thrill, not to get money. What shall we do?
