Psychiatry professor Nancy M. Petry presents Pathological Gambling: Etiology, Comorbidity, And Treatment, a scholarly discussion of psychological problems related to gambling. Drawing quite heavily upon extensive scholarly research, Pathological Gambling informatively discusses advanced psychological concepts, and although readable for lay people, is especially geared toward field students and professionals. Diverse anecdotes help to flesh out the specific issues and obstacles that challenge those trying to help pathological gamblers reclaim their lives. Pathological Gambling is a welcome, timely, and much-needed contribution to gambling addiction treatment resource shelves.
