And for this you need only to work ...

To do this you need only to work. Summing up his modest experience help in solving the problems gambling addiction, I wrote the book "burn its wings in the flames of passion", which sets out the rehabilitation program for gamers. In my personal opinion, to solve the problem of gambling addiction, primarily to work in the following areas: (see the article "Tackling gaming addiction» http://www.medlinks.rurticle.php?sid=19908) Through its avtrskie program, based on the personal characteristics of people seeking help I distinguish 14 types of gamblers, each type has its own characteristics and share common pain points and general psychopathological basis for gambling. Finnish researchers have created Gamblers his classification of five groups: People prone to numerous biases: in parallel with the Gamblers, these people are suffering from any addictions (alcoholism, drug addiction, etc.) People who been treated by mental disorders: they were in psychiatric treatment clinical or outpatient setting. People who play to blunt the feelings of loneliness or dissatisfaction: for these players, and gambling were an outlet and a surrogate for missing a company or an interesting case. Professional players: people from this group have played professionally, but from time to time the game took on the shape bias. Other: in all other respects they differed from all of the above described groups of their background and motivation for the game. Pathological gamblers - the scientists' view In the fifties of last century, pathological gamblers were included society in the same category as the racketeers, drug dealers and prostitutes. If a person spent most of his time in the casino, it was not called a problem. If he managed to consistently win, he was accused of foul play. Today, that view has changed dramatically. Doctors leading countries are now considering pathological gambling as a disease that can be diagnosed. The main objective of scientists is to find methods of diagnosis and treatment of sick people to structure. "What is that we value?" It could be anxiety, depression, or inability to manage responses. We know that the problem is present when we look at pathological gamblers, but not always, can attest to this - says Howard Shaffer, director of the Medical School at Harvard. Goal of scientists who develop the disease definition pathological gamblers in the clinical setting, include identification and laboratory testing. But even if scientists could create a "gold standard" for diagnosing compulsive gambling, it will not guarantee the success of treatment. When a person has a problem with gambling, it usually exists in conjunction with other psychological problems and, in fact, is often a sign of deeper problems. For example, a 31-year-old Fred began a course of treatment after losing their jobs and wives because of his habit of playing.
