Every year in North America, chronic compulsive gambling
shatters the lives of millions. In this program, psychologists Claude Boutin and Robert
Ladouceur talk with recovering gamblers who share their stories of exhilaration and
despair as they rode the roller coaster to ruin—what it felt like to win and lose, to
spend every dollar they had, to lie and steal in order to finance their addiction, to
contemplate suicide, and, fortunately, to enter group therapy. The program also describes
the emotional attraction of games of chance and explains the biochemical roles of
serotonin and dopamine in gambling addiction. (53 minutes, color)
