Objectives £º This study evaluated the characteristics and prognoses of pathological gamblers in accord with the three subtypes of the Pathways Model.
Methods £º Subjects were inpatients with pathological gambling (N=30). We obtained these subjects¡¯ demographic
data, evaluated them using a neuropsychological battery, and investigated their prognoses at their third, sixth, and
twelfth months after discharge.
Results £º The ¡®Emotionally vulnerable problem gamblers (EV)¡¯ and ¡®antisocial, impulsive problem gamblers (AI)¡¯ subtypes had significantly more depressive illnesses than the ¡®behaviorally conditioned problem gamblers (BC)¡¯ subtype had. Moreover, the AI subtype had significantly higher relapse rates at the third, sixth, and twelfth months than
either the BC or EV subtypes had.
Conclusion : These results suggest the differing Pathway Model subtypes in pathological gambling have different etiologies, progressions, and prognoses, and that problem gamblers of the AI subtype have a high relapse rate. Furthermore, this suggests the Pathway Model of pathological gambling could be useful in the understanding and
treatment of pathological gambling.
