Reseña del editor

For problem gamblers, games of chance become a preoccupation. They need to bet more money more frequently. They feel restless or irritable when they try to stop. Eventually, they can lose control entirelyobetting everything on one more hand no matter the risks to themselves or their families. Like any addiction, compulsive gambling takes its toll on the family. It causes instability, loss of trust, and financial hardship. Uncontrolled gambling can lead to dangerous family dynamics like denial, codependence, blaming, withdrawal, and isolation. Based on extensive research at the Center for Problem Gambling in Bedford, MA, this book offers problem gamblers and their families a step-by-step program of cognitive-behavioral strategies for beating the odds and escaping the trap of gambling addiction.
