About the Book

Behavioral addictions like gambling and compulsive sexual behavior have been increasingly recognized as serious mental health disorders in the psychology community. Unlike substance related addictions, these disorders involve a compulsive engagement in rewarding behavior despite the consequences. As awareness grows, so is the need for accurate assessment tools and effective treatment strategies tailored to the unique nature of behavioral addictions. Assessing and Treating Behavioral Addictions explores the spectrum of behavioral disorders and discusses the use of counseling. This book discusses behavioral addictions and deeper commitment to treatments. Covering topics such as gambling, behavioral addiction, and mental health, this book is an excellent resource for psychiatrists, psychologies, therapists, researchers, educators, academicians, and more.
