These studies provide an empirical basis for a model of impaired control of gambling. Impaired control, in its broadest sense, is considered to be the defining psychological construct of all the addictive behaviors and occupies a central position in conceptualizing the addictive aspects of gambling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46740789592226,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/41xpXRkNSXL._SY342.jpg?v=1775721310","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/gambling-as-an-addictive-behaviour-by-mark-dickerson-author-john-oconnor-author","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
