About the Book

Over the past decade, legal wagering has expanded rapidly in North America. In 1998 alone, people lost 50 billion dollars in legal betting and it is estimated that illegal wagering is twice that amount. A recent government report, based on the broadest population survey, concludes that the lifetime and pathological gamblers in the U.S. range between 4 and 10 million persons and is growing. If we include the families affected by problem gambling then the potential impact is indeed prodigious. Virtually no community in the U.S. and Canada is left untouched by entertainment or problem gambling. Treating problem gambling has evolved from a small group of practitioners in the 1980's working in specialty impatient units into an international enterprise that affects the caseload of many mental health professionals. Owing to its quiet origins, problem gambling treatment strategies are not well known throughout the clinical community. Consequently the average clinician is him/herself learning as they go. This approach does not benefit either client or therapist. As the book's first chapter makes clear, problem gambling differs significantly from substance abuse, its nearest clinical relative. Not attending to these differences leads to poor results and clinical failure. This book is the one essential tool needed by clinicians treating or likely to treat problem gambling. Written by a clinician with wide experience, it is intended for the general clinician treating or likely to treat problem gambling desiring a comprehensive, yet user-friendly guide. Key Features * Assessment and treatment of problem gambling and those affected by it is discussed * Includes diagnostic instruments developed by the author * An integrative approach is taken with a special focus on cultural concerns and clinical applications for women and minorities * Integration of spirituality in treatment is covered

Review :
"Dr. Ciarrocchi has prepared an excellent comprehensive manual for practical use by both the counselor new to gambling treatment and the experienced gambling counselors. The manual provides practical applied science built on a solid, easy to understand foundation of current psychological theory and recent research. As the public awareness of problem gambling increases and more and more people facing this disorder seek competent mental health services, the need for solid "how to" information for the average counselor is becoming more and more critical. The manual contains an excellent collection of self-help strategies, counselor interventions and psychological theory in practice. This is "one stop shopping" for the counselor seeking to understand, assess and treat the problem gambler and family any counselor may find among their caseloads. Dr. Ciarrocchi explains and illustrates the use of several of the most popular and effective treatment approaches and strategies in use with problem gamblers today and he adds a few innovative interventions and interpretations of this own. Cognitive-behavioral interventions, motivational interviewing, stages of change are but a few of the theories neatly interwoven into a comprehensive guide to gambling treatment. Everything needed for the problem gambling client's "recovery 101" effort is included here, ready to pick up and begin an effective recovery journey. Dr. Ciarrocchi is one of two or three experts on gambling treatment that addresses problem gambling treatment and spirituality in a meaningful way for use by any counselor. The collaborative tone and step-by-step sections allow for the effective and productive therapeutic exploration of this most important area by any counselor. This section removes imaginary barriers many mental health and addiction counselors put between themselves and their clients on the issue of spirituality believing they are not ministers or trained pastoral counselors and theref
