Abstract
Gambling has been found to become more and more popular among Poles. Studies show that each year, the number of individuals reporting for professional advice in solving problems associated with gambling is growing. Based on epidemiological data, the number of patients undergoing gambling addiction treatment is not high in Poland. What has been observed among persons experiencing various disorders is their embarrassment over reporting for advice, even though they are aware of the need to receive such advice. Therefore, some pathological gamblers make attempts to overcome their addiction on their own, with more or less success. In order to meet the needs of such individuals, professionals have been developing textbooks to support addicted gamblers in their recovery. This article presents an overview of selected self-help textbooks for pathological gamblers.
