Compulsive Gambling More than Dreidel

Twerski, a rabbi and physician, is the founder of Gateway Rehabilitation Center, cited by Forbes Magazine as one of the 12 best drug and alcohol treatment centers in the US. In this book, he identifies compulsive gambling as a serious disorder and addresses diagnosis and treatment for gamblers and their families. Twerski argues that compulsive gambling is quite prevalent in the Jewish community and he references Jewish Tradition and the 12-step grograms of Alcohlics Anonymous and Gamblers Anonymous in offering aid to recovery. Quite readable, illustrated with memorable stories from gamblers themselves, Twerski explores the dangers to families and loved ones and their role in identifying compulsive gambling and encouraging treatment.Twerski, Abraham J., Jr. is the author of 'Compulsive Gambling More than Dreidel', published 2006 under ISBN 9780976633716 and ISBN 097663371X.
