• Eye Opening Easy Read 23 August, 2007
A number of Vignettes highlighting actual accounts of people becoming embroiled in the "hell" of pathological gambling. This is a well written, inexpensive, and easy read. I believe most useful as an eye opening introduction to the topic.
With the explosion of Casinos all over America we are seeing an equally proportinate rate of ruined lives related to gambling. The suicide rate amoung problem gamblers is extroardinarily high. It is most important for healthcare professionals, both in addiction and general medicine, to become familiar with this problem and screen patients for potential gambling addiction. This book was part of my curriculum as an addictions counselor in the state of New York.
Another excellent book on this topic is 'Born to Lose' by Bill Lee, who also wrote the book inspiring the movie 'Chinatown'.
