“…Group therapy is not only just cost effective; it also enables gamblers to learn from and support each other. Individual therapy may be more suitable for those who prefer discussing life events on a one-to-one basis (Oei, Raylu, & Casey, 2010).…”

Background. Although the presence of a gambling disorder (GD) together with another mental disorder poses special treatment challenges, such as relapses, severe outcomes for patients and families, and increased number of hospitalizations, there are only a few critical reviews in the literature. Objective. To review empirical evidence of psychological approaches to cope specifically with these dual disorders. Method. A narrative review of the relevant bibliography on this topic was carried out. A systematic search of original articles (2010-October 2017) was conducted in MEDLINE and PsycInfo. Key terms were: 1. gambling/gamblers, 2. treatment/intervention/therapy/therapeutics, and 3. dual diagnosis/comorbidity. Results. Current treatment for GD involves a number of different options, including inpatient treatments, intensive outpatient therapy, individual and group cognitive-behavioral options (CBT), self-help groups, and pharmacotherapy. Inpatient care is generally limited to patients with severe acute crises, treatment failures, and severe comorbid disorders, particularly depression and attempted suicide. Treatment for GD with other mental disorder needs more research. CBT, motivational enhancement therapy and self-help groups have some empirical support when GD is comorbid with other addiction, mood disorder, or schizophrenia. Programs that combine pharmacotherapy and psychosocial treatments for GD into a single comprehensive package are most likely to have good treatment outcomes, at least with regard to treatment retention. Discussion and conclusion. Interventions should be tailored to the needs of the patients. Future research should be concerned about the statistical power of the studies, implement motivational strategies for patients with poor medication adherence, and design measures to study treatment fidelity in the CBT groups.

“…Um estudo de seguimento realizado entre jogadores patológicos previamente tratados antes do encaminhamento ao JA concluiu que o índice de adesão ao JA e a abstinência são significativamente maiores entre os pacientes submetidos previamente a outras intervenções ou propostas de reabilitação 25 . A comparação dos grupos em diferentes momentos segue exemplos como o estudo de Oei et al 17 , que comparou indivíduos submetidos a intervenção com terapia cognitivo--comportamental e entrevista motivacional com um grupo tabela 3. Distribuição da amostra em relação ao regime de tratamento e o período de abstinência Estágios de motivação, prontidão para mudança e período de abstinência em lista de espera.…”

“…Estudos que avaliaram intervenções como a entrevista motivacional em jogadores patológicos indicam redução de gastos com jogo, redução dos sintomas do transtorno, bem como correlações positivas, quando a intervenção é associada à terapia cognitivo-comportamental [14][15][16][17] . Esses achados reforçam a importância de avaliar e trabalhar a motivação de JP.…”

“…Cognitive techniques are often combined with behavioural interventions such as financial management, relaxation, and systematic desensitisation, whereby gamblers are gradually exposed to gamblingrelated cues [13]. The combination of behavioural and cognitive techniques has been successful in reducing the frequency of gambling activities and gamblingrelated cognitions in disordered gamblers [14] [15]; although a recent Cochrane review has highlighted the need for further research to measure the long term effects of these findings [16].…”

Cognitive processes, in particular, erroneous beliefs surrounding gambling outcomes and abilities, are thought to play an important role in the development and maintenance of disordered gambling behaviours. The current study investigated the impact of erroneous gambling-related cognitions on gambling severity and intentions to gamble, trialling a brief, online cognitive intervention designed to reduce gambling-related cognitions and intentions to gamble. One hundred and twenty one participants were randomly allocated to either an educational intervention condition or an alternative intervention (control condition). Participants in the educational intervention condition showed larger reductions in gambling-related cognitions than did participants in the control condition. The educational intervention significantly reduced erroneous cognitions from pre to post treatment, with effectiveness of the intervention increasing in those exhibiting more severe gambling behaviours.
