Abstract
Problem gambling can have profound consequences on a person's life, consequences that range from financial, psychological to relational and that affect, in particular, couple relationships. Despite these widely documented relational consequences, most therapies for problem gambling favour an individual approach. Nonetheless, in the field of addiction, several studies have documented the efficacy of a couple approach. A few results from preliminary studies carried out with gamblers would seem to suggest that a couple approach might also be effective in this field. Our team thus developed the Integrative Couple Treatment for Pathological Gambling or ICT-PG, a therapy in which the treatment for pathological gambling starts by working with the couple from the very first meeting. First off, it targets the reduction or cessation of gambling behaviour, but also a reduction in the psychological distress of the two partners and an improvement in relationship satisfaction and mutual support. The usual work on diverse dimensions related to gambling is conducted with the gambler, and this in the presence and with the support of his partner. The treatment aims to eliminate those behaviours in the couple that might facilitate gambling and to reinforce behaviours that support the cessation of gambling. Another goal of the ICT-PG is for the couple to learn better skills for communication, conflict resolution, and mutual reinforcement, always with the objective of facilitating the reduction and cessation of gambling habits. This paper is a description of the therapeutic process of the ICT-PG. Le jeu compulsif peut avoir de profondes conséquences sur la vie d'une personne, des conséquences qui vont de l'ordre financier, psychologique à relationnel et qui affectent, en particulier les relations de couple. Malgré que ces conséquences sur les relations soient bien connues, la plupart des thérapies pour le jeu compulsif emploient une approche individuelle. Pourtant, dans le domaine de la dépendance, plusieurs études ont démontré l'efficacité d'une approche de couple. Quelques données préliminaires d’études avec des joueurs compulsifs suggèrent qu'une approche de couple pourrait aussi être efficace dans ce domaine. Notre équipe a donc développé le Traitement de couple intégratif pour le jeu pathologique ou TCI-JP, une thérapie dont le traitement pour le jeu pathologique débute avec le couple dès la première rencontre. Tout d'abord, la thérapie cible une réduction ou cessation du comportement de joueur de même qu'une réduction de la détresse psychologique chez les deux partenaires, une amélioration de la satisfaction de la relation et un support mutuel. Le travail habituel sur les diverses dimensions reliées au jeu compulsif est effectué avec le joueur en présence et avec le support du conjoint ou de la conjointe. Le traitement vise à éliminer les comportements du couple qui peuvent inciter à la pratique du jeu compulsif et à renforcir ceux qui mènent à une cessation. Un autre but du TCI-JP est de permettre aux couples de développer des compétences en communication, résolution de conflits et renforcement mutuel tout en maintenant l'objectif de faciliter la réduction et cessation des habitudes de jeu. Cet article décrit le procédé thérapeutique du TCI-JP.
