Methods: the sample consisted of 111 male individuals with a diagnosis of Gambling Disorder, with a mean age of 45 years (SD = 12.2). All participants were evaluated by a comprehensive assessment battery and assigned to CBT groups of 10-14 patients attending 16 weekly outpatient sessions lasting 90 min each. Results: the highest mean pre- and post-therapy differences were recorded for the alcohol risk/dependence group on the obsessive/compulsive and anxiety dimensions of the SCL-90-R. As regards the presence of relapses and dropouts over the course of the CBT sessions, the results show a significant association with moderate effect size: patients with risk consumption or alcohol dependence were more likely to present poor treatment outcomes. Conclusions: alcohol abuse was frequent in GD, especially in patients with low family income and high accumulated debts. High levels of somatization and high overall psychopathology (measured by the SCL-90-R) were associated with increased risk of alcohol abuse. Alcohol abuse was also associated with poor response to treatment.11 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Jiménez-Murcia, Susana et al., 2016http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/esAssistència ambulatòriaTeràpia cognitivaConsum d'alcoholAlcoholismeJoc compulsiuTrastorns de la personalitatHomesAmbulatory medical careCognitive therapyDrinking of alcoholic beveragesAlcoholismCompulsive gamblingPersonality disordersMeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6650242016-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess27065113
