3. About Pathological Gambling pathological gambling An addiction embracing the nation. What is the differencebetween casual social gambling and pathological gambling? http://www.addictionrecov.org/aboutgam.htm

Pathological gambling: An addiction embracing the nation G amblers no longer need to trek to Las Vegas or Atlantic City to find the action they crave. It is available today in their own hometowns. Legalized gambling is one of the fastest growing industries in the United States. Gambling's tremendous popularity is evident in the recent increase in the number of off-track-betting parlors (OTBs) and riverboat casinos that dot the Midwest and the Mississippi Delta. Billboards on major highways depict the action and excitement available at such facilities. For most of the industry's patrons, gambling is fun and a form of harmless entertainment. For the four to six percent of gamblers who become problem or pathological (compulsive) gamblers, however, it can be a devastating illness that negatively affects every aspect of their lives. What is the difference between casual social gambling and pathological gambling? Gambling can be defined as playing a game of chance for stakes. Gambling occurs in many forms, most commonly pari-mutuels (horse and dog tracks, off-track-betting parlors, Jai Alai), lotteries, casinos (slot machines, table games), bookmaking (sports books and horse books), card rooms, bingo and the stock market. Pathological gambling is a progressive disease that devastates not only the gambler but everyone with whom he or she has a significant relationship. In 1980, the American Psychiatric Association accepted pathological gambling as a "disorder of impulse control." It is an illness that is chronic and progressive, but it can be diagnosed and treated.

DE LEEUW, CPT, MS, USA Community Mental Health Service, Fort Meade, Maryland A patient information handout on gambling, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 749. Pathologic gambling and problem gambling affect approximately 5 to 15 million Americans and are common in young people. The community-minded family physician is in a good position to identify and assist patients who have gambling-related problems and thereby prevent or treat the resultant personal, family and social disruptions. Provider and community education about the depth and breadth of this condition is crucial for the identification and treatment of a growing problem. As with many psychologic conditions, identification of the disorder and treatment of the patient by the family physician comprise the primary treatment. Screening tools, treatment programs and self-help groups provide additional resources for the family physician. An illustrative case report demonstrates the importance of heightened awareness of and screening for this common condition. (Am Fam Physician 2000;61:741-9.) P athologic gambling is identified in every social class. Unfortunately, no systematic process of educating, screening and treating pathologic gamblers is currently in place. Family physicians need to have a heightened awareness about the impact of the pathologic gambler's behavior on the family and should be familiar with screening instruments and treatment options.

Online Casino News Gambling Sponsors Online Gambling Online Casinos THE PSYCHOLOGY OF GAMBLING There are two general views on what gambling means to the psychological makeup of human beings: One, that gambling is a form of deviant behavior; And two, that gambling is an extension of normal behavior. The psychology of gambling can be best understood if one examines the two extreme views regarding what gambling is. On one hand, there are those who view gambling as a disease and sickness, while on the other hand, there are those who see gambling so involved in and integral to the daily affairs of humans, that it requires no interpretation or moderation. Finding a stance between these these two sides, whether it is a balanced stance or not, has been the task of many governments in countries where gambling is tolerated to any degree whatsoever.

The study, to be presented to the National Gambling Impact Study Commission on Thursday around 3:30 p.m. EST, says the problem is "significant enough" to warrant funding for more comprehensive research than currently exists. "More people are gambling, and they are waging more," the study says. More than 80 percent of American adults have gambled in some form in their lifetime. Gambling of some type is legal in all but three states. Computer technology has increased the accessibility of gambling. The study calls for an assessment of the costs and benefits of gambling, noting that there are "net economic benefits for economically depressed communities."

Selecting a Treatment Program for Pathological Gambling by Randee McGraw 1. Do you treat gamblers with chemical addicts? 2. How does your treatment program define gambling? 3. What percentage of your staff have had a minimum of 21 hours of gambling-specific training. In my opinion, any counselor with an addictions credential must have a minimum of 21 hours of gambling-specific training. 4. How do you address the financial issues? 5. How do you protect the client from gambling while in treatment? Card games, sports pages and stock market reports, pool tables, and competitive games should be removed. The treatment facility should not send patients out to meetings or functions where gambling occurs (e.g., door prizes, drawings to see who will speak and 50/50 raffles). If vending machines are available for clients/patients, make sure no item sold has sweepstakes advertised on them. 6. How do you prepare gamblers to return to communities that have few or no G.A. meetings? 7. How do you view bankruptcy and consolidation loans? Bankruptcy and consolidation loans are bailouts, and at the beginning of treatment, the gambler needs to contract with the treatment provider not to file bankruptcy or obtain any loans.

Do you have a gambling problem? To find out, answer these questions with a simple" yes" or "no." Do you use gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve depression? Do you feel unable to stop playing regardless of winning or losing? Are you betting more than you intended? Have you neglected family or work responsibilities because of gamblimg? Do you feel restless or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop gambling? Have you lost or jeopardized important relationships due to gambling? Have you borrowed money from others to relieve a financial problem that arose due to gambling? If you answered "yes" to one or more of the above, you are probably in trouble with gambling. Pathological gambling is a progressively chronic disorder that results in an uncontrollable impulse to gamble. It has the highest suicide rate of all psychiatric disorders. Psychologically similar to alcohol and substance addictions, compulsive gambling affects the entire family. It is, however, a diagnosable and treatable condition.The San Diego Center for Pathological Gambling was established in 2003 by Dr. Suzanne Graupner Pike to offer addiction treatment services to problem gamblers and their famlies, and is the first and only outpatient facility in San Diego and Southern California.

Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 26 October 1999. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: With the legalization of new forms of gambling there are increasing numbers of individuals who appear to have gambling related problems and who are seeking help. The individual and societal consequences are significant. Pathological gambling can result in the gambler jeopardizing or losing a significant relationship or job and committing criminal offences. Pathological gamblers may develop general medical conditions associated with stress. Increased rates have been reported for mood disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, substance abuse or dependence. There is a high risk of suicide and a high correlation with antisocial, narcissistic and borderline personality disorders and alcohol addiction.With increasing public awareness of gambling related problems health funders and practitioners are asking questions about the efficacy of treatments. Consequently quality research into gambling treatment is crucial. Objectives: The objective of this review was to complete a systematic review and meta-analysis of all randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of psychological and pharmacological treatments for pathological gambling, from both published and unpublished scientific reports.
