Gambling (eBook)
$34.35
Nineteen behavioral scientists present their findings on a range of topics relating to the study of gambling from a behavioral perspective.
The rise in legalized gambling in the United States over the last fifteen years has led to much debate among scientists and practitioners about how to conceptualize and study the phenomenon, treat persons who experience difficulties controlling their level of play, and prevent individuals from becoming problem or ‘pathological’ gamblers. The current volume brings together a group of basic and applied behavior scientists to discuss these matters.
Gambling is designed to allow readers familiar with the general concepts and principles of behavior analysis to understand how the field is addressing the area of gambling. Graduate students taking classes in behavioral applications, or those enrolled in seminars specific to gambling, will find this collection of papers a vital resource. The book will also be useful to clinicians interested in understanding the basic and conceptual foundations that underlie successful prevention and treatment approaches.
