Negative reinforcement - the state of ...

Negative reinforcement - the state of ...

Negative reinforcement - a condition that occurs when deprived of any stimulus (emotsialno unpleasant fact) that may be perceived as a life-threatening (deprivation of food, as a negative incentive for a hungry animal). The system of chance game: winning - positive reinforcement, loss - negative reinforcement. Cognitive game theory explains the dependence of the loss of mind control over the behavior of the prevailing financial losses while gambling (Ladouceur, 2004) with errors in determining the probabilities of events (Toneatto, Blitz-Miller et al , 1997), with illusory correlations (Gabour, Ladouceur, 1989), the illusion of control (Ladouceur, Dube, 1997). Behavioral (motivation) theory explains the pathological mechanisms of the motivation of behavior ((Neighbors, Larimer, 2004). People with a focus on control of more prone to gambling addiction. Psychodynamic theory explains the dependence of the gaming pathological behavioral reactions, pathological personality characteristics and other (Steel, Zachary, Blaszczynski, Alex, 1998). Cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic theory really explain the game dependent or partially explain the consequences, but not very reason, and therefore can not satisfy a modern approach to the problem. People who suffer from Gamblers themselves without realizing it, rejects itself in a vicious circle, where they unsuccessfully wrestling with ourselves, with feelings of shame and guilt, their inadequate self-esteem ( self-esteem account may be greatly underestimated, or vice versa - over-inflated), feelings of worthlessness and self-deprecation, her fears, and heaps of psychological defense (defensive fantasy, system of ritual actions). Other issues of personal plan, both in relationships and in their internal emotional and the spiritual world, a crisis of confidence in financial bondage huge debts. What is different and dependent on other people, he solves his personal problems are just one way - through gambling, which adds even more and exacerbating the very personal problems. Pathological gambling addiction due to malfunctioning of the brain (see link: http://www.medlinks.rurticle.php?sid=20523&mode=thread&order=0) as a treatment for the disease, doctors selected mainly psychological training. However, there are more simple and affordable therapies. Since the drug "Naltrexone" (naltrexone), which was used (including in Russia) for the treatment of drug dependence, shown in clinical trials that it significantly (75%) reduces the chance the state and behavior among pathological gamblers. from antidepressants preference Favorin. Finding the cure for this disease has not yet succeeded. Although at some point from the experts came the illusion that their work did not remain fruitless. One group of patients were given drugs instead of sugar, the other - tablets of naltrexone, which were to become panaceas.
