Abstract

The law "On state regulation of activities concerning the organization and conduct of gambling" recently adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine sets the task of nivelation pathological gambling. Due to the fact that the correction of pathological gambling is ineffective, it is promising to diagnose and correct this disorder in the preclinical stages. Using the term «gambling behavior» we mean that pathological gambling is in a premorbid state. In the scientific periodicals early youth age is considered as one of the vulnerable age periods when gambling behavior becomes pathological addiction. Therefore, it is necessary to create programs for the correction of gambling behavior designed specifically for this age period. The theoretical bases of the program of psychocorrection of gambling behavior in early youth age are considered in the article. The empirical study examined the impact of the created correction program: the sample consisted of 15 people (16 - 17 years; 7 boys and 8 girls) with premorbid to pathological gambling stage. Psychological diagnostics was performed before the start of work in the correctional group and after the end of group work. The study revealed positive improvements in the psychological functioning of group members, which led to the disappearance of gambling behavior in 47% of group members.
