10-Jan-07. Student bets therapy for loved ones works. Calgary Sun, 12.

University of Calgary Ph.D. student Nicole Peden hopes that a study she is conducting will decrease the distress experienced by loved ones of those who gamble and make treatment more appealing to problem gamblers. She says that evidence from the study indicates that the intervention has proven to be quite effective. It is even better than only self-help manual used in studies because those that have used a manual alone said they needed more guidance.
