Abstract
The Pathways Model of problem gambling suggests three developmental
pathways, subtypes, to a gambling disorder and the importance of individualized treatment with different treatment interventions for different subtypes. The study aimed to investigate to what extent the therapist made considerations related to the Pathways Model and take psychiatric comorbidity into account when planning the treatment. The hypothesis was that therapists assumed to plan treatment in the same way based on directives from above and to small extent take the patient's subtype or psychiatric comorbidity into account. A cross-sectional study with a self-report questionnaire survey as a data collection method was conducted among three therapist networks.... (More)
The Pathways Model of problem gambling suggests three developmental
pathways, subtypes, to a gambling disorder and the importance of individualized treatment with different treatment interventions for different subtypes. The study aimed to investigate to what extent the therapist made considerations related to the Pathways Model and take psychiatric comorbidity into account when planning the treatment. The hypothesis was that therapists assumed to plan treatment in the same way based on directives from above and to small extent take the patient's subtype or psychiatric comorbidity into account. A cross-sectional study with a self-report questionnaire survey as a data collection method was conducted among three therapist networks. Quantitative data were analysed with SPSS. The result was based on 47 answers. A minority of the therapists (38%) used Gambling Pathways Questionnaire (GPQ) to a higher extent, to define subtype and
thereby psychiatric comorbidity. Furthermore, 17 % lacked knowledge of GPQ. Most of the therapists (96%), in accordance with the National Board of Health and Welfare, offered a treatment based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Amongst the therapists, 81% relied on a manual-based method which they stated was difficult to individualize.Directions from above tend to dictate the treatment plans rather than personalfactors such as subtype and psychiatric comorbidity.
