Title: GAMBLING AS AN ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOUR: IMPAIRED CONTROL, HARM MINIMISATION, TREATMENT AND PREVENTION
Description: "In this book the authors present the most recent and evolving research into gambling, showing the psychological variables that govern the erosion or maintenance of self-control over gambling behaviour. These studies provide an empirical basis for a model of impaired control of gambling. Impaired control, in its broadest sense, is considered to be the defining psychological construct of all the addictive behaviours, and occupies a central position in conceptualising the addictive aspects of gambling."--BOOK JACKET.
