Summary

This study tested a short cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program designed to reduce self-stigma in adults with gambling disorder. 26 participants were split into two groups: one received four sessions of CBT targeting self-stigma, while the other did not. The goal was to see if this approach could lower both self-stigmatizing thoughts and gambling severity. Results were measured before, after, and one month following treatment.
