Abstract
The paper presents the case study of a compulsive gambler – Paul – who joined Responsible Gambling
Program in Romania and resorted to psychotherapy to be able to quit gambling.
We used cognitive behavioral therapy methods, as well as relapse prevention techniques, so that, at the end of
the 6-month therapy, Paul was able to quit this addiction and lead a normal life with his family. The psychological
services were free of charge in our program.
