    Extractions: Category Description Gambling can be defined as playing a game of chance for stakes. Gambling occurs in many forms, most commonly pari-mutuels (horse and dog tracks, off-track-betting parlors, Jai Alai), lotteries, casinos (slot machines, table games), bookmaking (sports books and horse books), card rooms, bingo and the stock market. Pathological gambling is a progressive disease that devastates not only the gambler but everyone with whom he or she has a significant relationship. In 1980, the American Psychiatric Association accepted pathological gambling as a "disorder of impulse control." It is an illness that is chronic and progressive, but it can be diagnosed and treated.

    Extractions: Pathological gambling is classified as an impulse control disorder. Gambling, like other disorders of impulse control, such as suicide attempts, fire-setting and aggression, seems to have behavioral psychoanalytical and addictive aspects. Human platelets are an accessible source of monoamine oxidase (MAO). Platelet MAO levels have been consistently related to certain personality traits such as sensation-seeking behavior and impulsivity. Furthermore, low platelet MAO levels have been found in association with risky behaviors. Because there was no previous investigation of MAO activity in pathological gambling, a disorder characterized by risky sensation-seeking behavior, (Carrasco et al. 1994) designed a study to examine it. The study measured platelet MAO activity in a group of pathological gamblers and its relation to sensation-seeking and impulse control. Subjects of the study were fifteen male pathological gamblers from the outpatient clinic of a Madrid hospital. Control subjects were 25 healthy males. Subjects completed the Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Rating Scales and Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking Scale . Platelet MAO activity was determined using samples of the patients' blood. The results show that in the group of pathological gamblers MAO activity was significantly lower than that in the control group. Gamblers also scored significantly lower in the sensation-seeking subscales than the control group. (This means they are more sensation-seeking than the controls. ) Platelet MAO activity showed a positive trend of correlation with high senation-seeking. In other words, the greater the sensation-seeking, the lower the MAO activity.

    Extractions: In 1980, the American Psychiatric Association first recognised pathological gambling as an impulse control disorder. Since then, the search for a 'cure' has started in earnest. Previously there had been a number of treatments available to the few gamblers who actually recognised and sought help for their addiction. Gamblers Anonymous which, like its sister project Alcoholics Anonymous, is a 12 step programme involving individual abstinence reinforced by group discussion and support. Since the advent of the National Lottery calls to Gamblers Anonymous have increased by 17%. Counselling The charity Gamcare have a success rate of 53% with their group counselling sessions. Due to their encouragement of follow-up sessions, they can claim a 46% success rate six months after the initial counselling course is finished. In 2000 the amount of counselling delivered was up 112% on the 1999 figure.

    Extractions: Narcissistic disturbance can be found in everyone. An individual’s existence would be in jeopardy if some narcissistic traits were not present. These traits protect the ego from severe damage inflicted by others thus keeping our self-esteem in tact. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) occurs when narcissistic traits become exaggerated in an individual’s personality. Psychodynamic theories for the development of NPD revolve around issues of unmet basic childhood needs. Narcissistic defenses are innately present during the first eighteen months of an infant's life. The infant is able to experience being the center of his mother's world and a oneness with the mother develops. This makes the child feel powerful and omnipotent. The child's world has no limits. One theory suggests that near the end of the eighteen-month period a psychological transformation causes the disintegration of the child’s oneness with the mother to occur. During the separation period if the mother was not responsive and sensitive to the child's needs during the first eighteen months then NPD will develop. Other theories suggest that the development of the ego is governed by the limits and consequences the parents provide between two and ten and the amount of abuse or trauma the child receives during the first seven years of life. This abuse does not necessarily have to come from trauma induced by parents, but encompasses authority figures, peers, and others.
