Summary

An estimated 3-5 per cent of all individuals who gamble will become compulsive gamblers. This 'invisible addiction' can be financially and emotionally devestating to both the gambler and his or her family. This timely clinical manual explains why gambling is on the rise and the factors which distinguish recreational and compulsive gamblers. Mental health professionals will learn how to assess and treat compulsive gamblers using a variety of interventions: behaviour therapy, inpatient treatment, family therapy and 12 step programs.
