Mr. Reznik became interested in gambling and video gambling addiction in 1992 because clients with gambling addiction problems asked for his services. The material in this book is based on his knowledge of applied and experimental psychology, his review of the relevant literature, his observations and interviews with players at video gambling machines (electronic slot machines), in-depth investigation of clients who were pathological gamblers, and discussions of gambling with professionals and concerned citizens.
In this book Mr. Reznik attempts to answer what is pathological gambling, how did this behaviour originate, what maintains and reinforces this behaviour and how can this addiction be treated? This book is divided into three sections. In the first section he discusses pathological gambling and related issues. In the second section, he presents various hypotheses or theories pertaining to the etiology and possible causes of pathological gambling. In the third section which is a self-help program for a person with pathological gambling, he lists suggestions regarding what can be done about this disorder.
Dr. Yair Reznik graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Psychology, from Sir George Williams University. He holds an M.A. from Dalhousie University and a Ph.D. from the University of Alberta. He has extensive clinical experience having worked as a psychologist for the Department of Mental Health of Prince Edward Island, Halifax County Regional Rehabilitation Center and in his own private clinical practice. He retired in 1996.
