Why do so many women with gambling addiction relapse?
Lifelong recovery requires much more than to just stop gambling.
Women s groups provide long-term benefits and support and have
proven to be highly successful in promoting recovery from gambling
addiction. By following the story of a real women s group for
problem gambling over the course of a year, Liz Karter explains
how, for women, both the cause of and the cure for gambling
addiction lies in relationship.
Karter shows clearly how learning to face and cope with real
life situations and relationships is essential to maintain
recovery. She shares the themes which run through each women s
group, such as fear of trusting others, and the guilt, shame and
risk associated with being truly seen and heard. "Women s Groups
for Problem Gambling" shows that with a combination of specialist
intervention, women s group support, courage and compassion, women
can learn to stop running from their addiction and instead find joy
and support in building relationships and communities.
This highly accessible book provides a unique opportunity to
gain a very personal insight into the group process, both for
therapists and clinicians and for women wishing to better
understand their addiction. "
