- Summary:
- "The recent, mercurial rise in legalized gambling in the United States has spawned a great deal of debate among psychologists on how to conceptualize and study the phenomenon, treat persons who experience difficulties controlling their level of play, and prevent individuals from becoming problem gamblers. This volume brings together basic and applied behavior scientists to discuss these matters"--Provided by publisher.
