*** In Remembrance of Jeff Beck ***

1953 - 2018

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jeff Beck, former APTPG Vice-President, outstanding Clinician, and the cornerstone of the gambling recovery community. He will be lovingly remembered by all those who came in contact with him.

NEW - Read our Five (5) part series on the topic of: "Unresolved Gambling Treatment Issues".  Part 1 addresses the Crisis Stage of a gambling disorder. Part 2 deals with the role money plays in the life of an addicted gambler.  Part 3 discusses social and psychological losses that accompany abstinence, and Part 4 addresses grief associated with cessation of gambling.  The final part discusses the "magical thinking" of the compulsive gambler.
