Extractions: E-mail: frisch@uwindsor.ca The purpose of this paper is to examine the appropriateness of the current classification of pathological gambling as an Impulse Control Disorder. Controversy over the current categorization is as heated as it has ever been with more research suggesting that gambling is in fact not strictly an impulse-driven behaviour. Research also shows that pathological gambling is similar in presentation and treatment outcome to other addictive behaviours such as alcohol and substance abuse. Given such findings, it is arguable that pathological gambling needs to be re-examined in terms of where it fits into a psychiatric classification system. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (3rd ed., 1980) was the first to treat compulsive or pathological gambling as a separate condition labelling it a "mental disorder" (Levy & Feinberg, 1991). The DSM-III-R (1987) categorized pathological gambling as one of several Impulse Control Disorders, vaguely defined as mental disorders characterized by an irresistible impulse to perform harmful acts (McElroy, Hudson, Pope, Keck & Aizley, 1992). People with impulse control disorders have three central characteristics:

Extractions: Relationship between gender and substance use among treatment-seeking gamblers By Tony Toneatto, Senior Scientist, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Ontario and Wayne Skinner, Clinical Director, Concurrent Disorders Program, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Ontario Very little is known about gender differences in psychoactive substance use among gamblers. In this study, 200 individuals seeking treatment for problem gambling were assessed with respect to lifetime and current use and abuse of licit and illicit substances. As a group, they were found to have experience with psychoactive substances exceeding that reported for the general population. There were no gender differences in patterns of illicit drugs; however, the women gamblers reported greater experience with psychiatric medications over the lifetime and during the treatment and follow-up periods. However, Spunt et al. (1998) note the lack of data regarding the effect of gender on substance use among pathological gamblers. Mark and Lesieur's 1992 survey of the gambling research literature found that very few studies included female gamblers; those that did rarely analyzed results according to gender. They observed that the failure to include female gamblers seriously limited the generalizability of the findings.

Extractions: PROBLEM AND PATHOLOGICAL GAMBLING IN WASHINGTON STATE Lifetime prevalence data are most useful for identifying the characteristics of individuals in the general population at greatest risk for experiencing problems related to their involvement in gambling. Current prevalence data are most useful for assessing rates of change in gambling problems and pathology over time, both for individuals and in the general population. Lifetime Prevalence Among Washington State respondents, 1.5% of the sample scored as lifetime probable pathological gamblers and 3.5% of the sample scored as lifetime problem gamblers. Overall, the lifetime prevalence rate of problem and probable pathological gambling in Washington State is 5.1%. According to the 1990 census, the population aged 18 and over in Washington State is 3,605,305 individuals. Based on these figures, we estimate that between 32,400 and 75,700 Washington State residents can be classified as lifetime probable pathological gamblers. In addition, we estimate that between 93,700 and 158,600 Washington State residents can be classified as lifetime problem gamblers.

Some of these conditions and patterns of behaviour emerge early in the course of individual development, as a result of both constitutional factors and social experience, while others are acquired later in life". Pathological gambling er under gruppa "Habit and impulse disorders" (F63). Generelt heter det om denne gruppa at "This category includes certain disorders of behaviour that are not classifiable under other categories. They are characterized by repeated acts that have no clear rational motivation, cannot be controlled, and generally harm the patient's own interests and those of other people. The patient reports that the behaviour is not understood and they are grouped together because of the broad descriptive similarities, not because they are known to share any other important features."

Extractions: December 04, 2001 LAS VEGAS (AP) - Gambling disorder researchers met with casino executives in Las Vegas on Tuesday trying to define compulsive gambling and determine its possible treatments. "This is a very youthful field that's just beginning to boom," said Dr. Howard Shaffer, director of the Harvard Medical School Division on Addictions. "Because it's a young field, we don't know nearly as much as we think we do." Approximately 4.4 million Americans are pathological gamblers, Shaffer said. Some gambling opponents, however, say several million more people have a gambling problem that falls short of that diagnosis. One researcher said compulsive gambling wasn't even diagnosed as a mental illness until 1980. Nonetheless, studies on compulsive gambling have advanced significantly during the past decade despite the lack of funding compared with alcohol and drug abuse addiction studies, said Dr. Ken Winters, a psychiatric researcher at the University of Minnesota Medical School. Researchers, however, have learned little about what defines a compulsive gambler, beyond that they tend to be white, middle-class males, Winters told attendees. More studies are needed to focus on women, youth, seniors and members of ethnic groups who gamble.

Extractions: - Pathological Gambling If You Can Not Resist .... Although the vast majority of Americans enjoy the entertainment option of gambling without experiencing any adverse effects, a small percentage are unable to control their wagering on sporting events, lotteries, casino games, horse or dog racing, Bingo and other gambling activities. Pathological gambling is the term used by the American Psychiatric Association to describe the clinical disorder characterized by a persistent and recurring failure to resist gambling behavior that is harmful to the individual and/or others. Other more general terms, such as compulsive gambling, problem gambling and disordered gambling, can refer to the wide range of individuals who experience varying degrees of problems but may or may not meet the definition of a medically diagnosable impulse control disorder. The following are facts about pathological gambling, as determined by recent research findings:

Extractions: Previous Story ... Related Stories Next Story Source: American Psychological Association Date: May Be More Addictive Than Alcohol, Smoking And Drugs: Some Youth Gamble For Reasons Unrelated To Winning Money SAN FRANCISCO Between five and eight percent of young Americans and Canadians have a serious gambling problem (compared with one to three percent of adults). That is according to research conducted over the last five years and presented at the 106th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association in San Francisco, August 14 -18. The research also shows that adolescents may become more addicted to gambling than they are to alcohol, smoking and drugs and sometimes gamble for reasons other than winning money. While the research shows that most youth gamble only occasionally, a minority of them starts gambling on a regular basis and then becomes pathologically involved. Boys get involved with gambling more than girls; older youths gamble more than younger ones; youths from ethnic minorities gamble more than Whites. Children can start gambling as early as grade school (11 years of age) and usually sustain their level of gambling over a number of years.

Extractions: When do social issues become medical issues? Peter A. Setness, MD VOL 102 / NO 4 / OCTOBER 1997 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE Gambling. For some people, a mere mention of the subject conjures up images of glitz and glamor, fun and socializing, a chance at "The Big Win," and all the accoutrements of whatever the good life means to them. But what it really is becoming is the addiction of the '90s, with all the personal and societal costs created by any addictive disease. It's interesting to me that just a generation ago, gambling was almost entirely an illegal, underworld activity, while today it is legal in some form in 48 states (Utah and Hawaii being the only holdouts). In the majority of states, proceeds from gambling (also known by its more innocuous name, gaming) fund everything from environmental causes to school band uniforms. Revenues from legal gambling have grown from about $3 billion on the $17 billion wagered in 1974 to $44 billion on the $550 billion wagered in 1996an increase of 1,500% (1). Lotteries are considered by many to be a legitimate government-sanctioned way of raising money for worthy causes, a type of painless tax. Lottery tickets are available along with food and fuel at practically every corner convenience store and gas station. It's true that legalized gambling has provided jobs and enabled selected groups, such as the Native Americans who own casinos, to better their economic circumstances. In some areas, the resultant revenue stream has allowed such things as reductions in property taxes and improved healthcare for the underserved. Many casinos are building playgrounds, amusement parks, and day-care centers, albeit to entice parents to make a trip to the casino a family activity.
