Abstract
A case of compulsive horse race gambling is reported in which treatment by aversion therapy was followed by remission lasting over 12 months. The necessity to treat all aspects of the behavior pattern including the fantasy projection is noted. Considerable improvement in long-standing marital disharmony occurred following treatment; the significance of this is discussed.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
