Counselling people with problems with gambling is often challenging and rewarding. This introduction to the treatment of problem gambling covers a broad range of counselling issues and gives practical guidance on meeting the needs of a diverse client population.

The information here will provide both new and experienced counsellors up-to-date research findings, clinical experience and case studies. The chapter is authored by Nina Littman-Sharp, Manager of the Problem Gambling Service at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).
