Abstract
Gambling Disorder was included with Substance Use Disorders in a revised diagnostic category of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-5 called 'Substance Use and Addictive Disorders'. A careful multidimensional diagnostic evaluation and a specific psychopathology assessment are necessary to propose an effective treatment. The first phase of a good assessment is the clinical interview. Several self-report and diagnostic assessment tools have been developed to support it. A set of more general tests investigate the personality, the behavior and the characteristics of a pathological gambler. Finally, other tools can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment.
