Abstract
Gambling as a leisure activity has now become widespread in many countries. While the majority of individuals who gamble experience no significant negative detrimental effects, research has consistently shown that a small minority develop problems, and that for an even smaller minority, the behavior appears to be an addiction just like other more traditional psychoactive substance-based addictive behaviors. This chapter briefly overviews problem gambling behaviors by examining the (i) demographics of gambling and problem gambling, (ii) prevalence of gambling and problem gambling, (iii) psychological theories of problem gambling, (iv) importance of structural and situational characteristics in problem gambling, (v) biological bases of problem gambling, (vi) specific comorbidities, (vii) problem gambling assessment approaches, and (viii) treatment approaches for problem gambling. Problem gambling, like other addictions, results from an interaction and interplay between many factors including the individual’s biological and/or genetic predisposition, their psychological constitution, their social environment, and structural characteristics of the gambling activity itself.
