The first presentation covers ethics in the field of counseling, particularly for those working with clients with gambling disorders. It emphasizes the importance of counselors practicing within their areas of competence and continually developing their professional expertise. The second presentation is designed to help clinicians navigate the complexities of interacting with the legal system when working with clients who have gambling disorders.
The final presentation explores the convergence of gaming and gambling, emphasizing the need for clinical awareness of this trend as it exposes young people to gambling mechanics and risks. It outlines diagnostic criteria for gambling and internet gaming disorders and explores the concept of "gamblification," where game design incorporates chance-based systems and microtransactions.
