Résumé :
"If thinking about addiction is going to change, the study of excessive gambling is likely to be one of the richest sources of new ideas." (Jim Orford).
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. Focuses on impaired control in ordinary regular gamblers rather than just on pathological gamblers. Presents the new findings about the psychological processes that lead to impaired self-control. Challenges the current harm-prevention policy of responsible gambling.
