SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
'If thinking about addiction is going to change, the study of excessive gambling is likely to be one of the richest sources of new ideas.' (Jim Orford) This book presents a research-based model of impaired control. Impaired control is considered to be the basis of all addictive behaviours, especially gambling.
