摘要

Pathologic gambling (PG) is categorized as an impulse control disorder. Phenomenologic, neurobiologic, and pharmacologic data suggest similarities in the pathophysiologies of substance use disorders and PG. Both behavioral and pharmacologic approaches, including those that have been empirically validated for substance use disorders, have shown promise in the treatment of PG. Findings from biologic studies of PG are reviewed, and treatment approaches based on controlled Studies are summarized.
