Behavioral Addictions: Criteria, Evidence, and Treatment, 1st Edition, is an Academic Press textbook that examines the diagnostic criteria, empirical research, and therapeutic approaches associated with non-substance behavioral disorders.
The volume explores the DSM-5 designation of behavioral addiction, evaluating how these conditions differ from impulse control disorders. Across clinical chapters, the text addresses conditions such as gambling disorder, problematic online gaming, Internet addiction disorder, food addiction, and compulsive buying.
Intended for psychiatrists, practicing psychologists, researchers, physicians, social workers, and medical and nursing students, the text reviews clinical assessment tools, evidence-based treatments, and forensic considerations within the American legal system.
