How do clinicians determine an appropriate treatment plan for clients with gambling problems? The current dearth of research on treatment outcomes and the lack of a treatment standard make this a challenge for treatment providers. However, Dr. Jon Grant argues that new research will bridge the gap, allowing clinicians to select the most effective treatment options based on cognitive, neuroimaging and genetic data. Dr. Grant, professor of psychiatry at the University of Minnesota and principal investigator of the NCRG Center of Excellence in Gambling Research at the University of Minnesota, delivered a keynote address on this topic at the 8th Annual Midwest Conference on Problem Gambling and Substance Abuse on July 20 in Kansas City, Mo.
