Dear colleagues,
I am collecting feedback on the idea that the multi- and inter-disciplinary character of the problem gambling research is stronger and larger that thought. The pg research remained even from its early stage in the exclusive custody of the biomedical and social sciences (what M. Griffiths (1991) called “the psychobiology" of problem gambling). A first issue arises when realizing that these sciences are empirical. Does the pg also need theoretical research? Should the potential of the modern neurosciences – for instance – be exploited? A second issue is that, within the current empirical setup, the only results of the research seem to be in taxonomy and etiology. How do treatment and prevention advance with no theoretical disciplines – such as mathematics – fully involved? How it is that we investigate gambling addiction with the same tools and concepts we use for smoking addiction?
These questions relate to my current project posted here:

I would be interested of the file as well but I received access denied while trying to open the file. Possible to share again?

Jani, thank you for your interest. I am attaching the file if the researchgate text-request feature does not work.
