Research Guide: Problem Gambling

|
For some who gamble, the impulse to wager is uncontrollable. For these people, gambling is no longer a recreational activity, or even an attempt to rationally balance risk and reward, but a problem. Whether known as problem, compulsive, pathological, or disordered gambling, this behavior has devasted many lives--but has also gotten the attention of many clinicians. This subject guide quickly summarizes many of the trends in current problem gambling treatment and study.
