The second study analyzes the efficacy of a self-help workbook designed to assist pathological gamblers learn more about their disorder and to understand ways to cope with gambling urges. A cognitive-behavioral treatment manual for mental health therapists treating pathological gamblers is also being created and will be tested in a clinical trial in the near future.
