Problem and pathological gambling

de James P. Whelan, Andrew W. Meyers, Timothy A. Steenbergh

"The objective of this book is to provide the clinician - or graduate student - with essential information about problem and pathological gambling. After placing this behavioral addiction and its co-occurring difficulties in perspective, by describing its proliferation, the associated costs, and diagnostic criteria and definitions, the authors present detailed information of a strategy to assess and treat gambling problems in an outpatient setting."--Jacket.
