scope:

Counselling and support for people with a gambling problem is a rapidly growing area. This book offers the reader an opportunity to experience the person-centred encounter and appreciate the difficulties associated with problem gambling whilst taking into account the most recent developments within the gambling industry. Counselling for Problem Gambling also serves to inform the gambling industry and its regulators of possible issues, the effects of the industry's decisions, and associated difficulties.

Trainees and experienced counsellors will find this book invaluable, as well as problem gamblers, their friends and families. It will also be a useful resource for government bodies, and policy makers and shapers with an interest in the effects of gambling on society.
