AbstractGAMBLING TREATMENTCHALLENGES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONSCONCLUSIONAcknowledgments Recommended ReadingReferences

Abstract—Pathological gambling is a psychiatric disorder that has considerable public-health implications. Promising treatments for pathological gambling have been identified. However, most treatment research is limited by methodological problems that preclude drawing conclusions about treatment efficacy. We explore the empirical evidence for some currently practiced treatments for pathological gambling. We also discuss some of the challenges and future directions for research on how to treat the disorder.
