In
the Shadow of Chance
The original
2001 version of this book
is a 400 page book based on the author’s experiences as a
clinical psychologist
working with problem gamblers in the Veterans Administration. First
posted in
its entirety to a web site in 2000, the book was published by ExGambler
Services
and is now available at cost ($13.00) from the Nevada Council on
Problem
Gambling. An order form
is available. The
version presented on this site is a version revised in 2007 with minor
changes
from the original. This
book was written as fictionalized
personal experience, and I
attempted to make it as readable as possible for my primary audience:
pathological
and problem gamblers who wish to abstain and to build meaningful lives
free of
gambling. It is also written with the families and friends of gamblers
in mind.
The book may be of interest to mental health professionals,
politicians,
policy makers, gambling industry personnel, and the concerned general
reader.
The revised version is not yet available in print.
Scenes in the Life
of a Gamotherapist
This
is a ridiculous play in ten acts that makes fun of therapists, gambler
clients,
and the world in general. Its accuracy, however, is not in dispute.
Act I: Off to
a Bad Start
Act II: Whose
Fault Is It?
Act III: That
Spirituality Thing
Act IV:
Defects? What Defects?
Act V: You
Gotta Have Feelings
Act VI: Hard
Choices
Act VII:
Honest, Doc
Act VIII: Not
So Humble People
Act IX:
Re-doing History
Act X: Living with Gamblers
