Gambling is a common yet misunderstood activity that can accompany or exacerbate psychological problems and isolate vulnerable individuals seeking help. The addictive and repetitive nature of gambling rarely manifests without comorbidity. Gambling in tandem with depression or anxiety is widely seen in clinical practice and yet the research in the treatment of gambling-related pathology is scarce. This volume aims to address this gap by offering a thorough, investigative procedure within treatment clinics and research alike. Through a collaborative interaction between therapist(s) and client(s), this extensive treatment guidebook addresses the ever-evolving landscape of commercial gambling and will equip practitioners with the know-how to deal with gambling addiction in the clinical setting. This volume not only provides a helpful overview on gambling disorders, but delineates a motivationally enhanced cognitive-behavioral treatment, and acts as a tool for clinicians as well as a great source for individuals seeking support with gambling associated pathology.
