Journal Title: Resocjalizacja Polska - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 12

Abstract

The article presents the issue of diagnostic criteria concerning gambling-related disorders and psychoactive and behavioral addictions in the literature. It is also a brief review of next editions of international classification manuals, both DSM (Diagnostics and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), and also ICD (The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems). The article presents a discussion of researchers about the place of gambling-related disorders in diagnostic classifications. The latest, fifth edition of DSM (DSM-V) places gambling disorders in the Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders category (DSM-V), in the subcategory Non-Substance Related Disorders (DSM-V). However, according to The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10), gambling disorder remains in the category of impulse control disorders, under the name “pathological gambling”.
