Treating Pathological Gambling with Motivational Interviewing and CBT: A Webinar for Addiction Professionals
Motivational interviewing (MI) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are treatment strategies that have been effective for people seeking to recover from substance use disorders; but what about gambling disorders? Although there is no treatment standard for pathological gambling yet, researchers are experimenting with MI and CBT, and preliminary findings look promising. Join two leading researchers from the field to discuss these findings and their implications for clinicians working with clients who have gambling problems.
