The
Downside:
Problem and Pathological
Gambling
Edited by Jeffrey J. Marotta, Judy A. Cornelius, and William
R. Eadington
|
Gambling over the past thirty years
has dramatically increased in availability, acceptance,
legitimization, and legalization throughout the world. Accompanying
this growth has been an increase in the incidence and visibility of
destructive gambling behavior -- the downside.
Well-known researchers and academics
from around the world have contributed articles on the topic of
problem and pathological gambling for this publication. They range
from the philosophic, such as Steven Graybar and Duane Varble's
perspective on pathological gamblers and pathological warriors, to
the pragmatic, such as Lynn Wallisch's article on Texas before and
after the State lottery and her observations on the under-served
Hispanic population. The articles are informative and
instructive.
