"The game is an experience ever
and is a creative experience
space-time continuum, a basic
way of life. " Winnicott
The phrase above places us in the theme of the game from the perspective of health.
Today we can convey interest that occurs when the game stops being created to become repeat, that is, when instead of causing pleasure to the person gives rise to an experience-related discomfort. We refer to pathological gambling or compulsive gambling. There is no longer
space-time, as the compulsive gambler tends to isolate and deteriorating social ties, so the closest the family, as well as their friends, coworkers and others. The space-time talks about a scene that relates to the subject with others in a given space with a bounded time. The compulsive gambler in his relationship with the game loses track of time and space and even their own basic needs.
The game is here to occupy a place in the gambler's life, allowing you to put aside any matter that causes pain, anguish. Appears as a resource for not dealing with these feelings. This sustained the illusion that your life can be removed from the scene that gave rise to them, or at least away from her consciousness. Here we find a subject that its link with the object of his compulsion, gambling, repeating a painful experience in the therapeutic work that usually refers to a situation of loss (unprocessed duels, failures in the workplace, not elections realize their own desire, marital problems, etc.), which is why the gambler loses, other than in a chance to win. It is common to hear them say: "... I won and I was until I lost everything ...."
Compulsive gambling is an inability to resist impulses to gamble that leads to serious consequences and personal / social. The compulsive gambler emotionally dependent on the game, has lost control, lies and hidden to keep playing in your self-deception also states that win and after that thought is still playing and still losing.
We are talking about a disease and as such can and should be treated.
