Review :
"This DVD provides a comprehensive look at the downward spiral of problem gambling and the path to recovery. Interviews with gamblers reveal the allure, the misconceptions, and the behavior patterns that lead to excessive gambling - and its devastating effects. Experts provide commentary on the illogical thought patterns related to this disorder and dispel myths about the likelihood of winning large amounts of money. This program is a fitting teaching tool for students and counselors who want to know more about problem gambling, and for gamblers searching for hope and change." - "Lia Nower, Associate Professor and Director, Center for Gambling Studies, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, USA. "Pathological gambling is a significant public health problem, yet few clinicians are experienced in treating it. This DVD provides a comprehensive overview along with detailed descriptions of some of the latest techniques for assessing and treating patients with gambling problems. Clinicians will benefit from this useful guide, and individuals who suffer from compulsive gambling and their loved ones will find much-needed support and information." - "Nancy Petry, Department of Psychiatry, University of Connecticut Health Center, USA. "'No More Bets, Please!' should be on every practitioner's shelf. For students and trainees, this is an outstanding introduction to the harms of problem and compulsive gambling. For professionals, the DVD demonstrates empirically based techniques that are useful in any therapeutic arsenal. The DVD can be the focus of therapy or can be viewed as useful supplemental material by clients at home. For example, interviews with experts regarding the impossibility of long-term winning can be viewed and discussed with clients, as this section is aimed at directly correcting the cognitive misperceptions that categorize abusive gambling. For problem and pathological gamblers and their families 'No More Bets Please!' is unmatched. It shows real clients successfully employing evidence-based behavioral and cognitive techniques. What makes this DVD especially attractive is that these methods are applicable to a spectrum of problem severities. There are no magic cures, but there 'is' hope. This is what recovery is about, and why I am excited about this video program. There simply is no other resource like this available." "- William McCown, Department of Clinical Psychology, University of Louisiana at Monroe, USA "This video provides an excellent resource for individuals who want to know more about problem gambling and its treatment. Therapists can use it to become more familiar with cognitive distortions, especially among machine players. Problem gamblers can use it to help them understand their thinking errors and what is in store for them in the therapy process. The video sends an optimistic message. While it takes a lot of work, recovery is possible. Kudos to the producers!" - "Henry R. Lesieur, Rhode Island Gambling Treatment Program, Rhode Island Hospital, USA

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
