Gambling Policies in European Welfare States
This edited book draws on a cross-cultural and historical lens to theoretically and practically analyse gambling regulations and the use of gambling revenue. It takes on a broad spectrum of perspectives, from the origin of the money, to the regulators, operators and beneficiaries of gambling, and looks at the interests, networks and power relations involved. This multidisciplinary collection elicits a shift in analysis, shedding light on a broader societal, historical and economic view of gambling and gambling policies, by its attention to implicit networks of power, influential legislation, gambling provision and infrastructure. Gambling Policies in European Welfare States will be of interest to students and scholars alike who are seeking cross-national and interdisciplinary analyses of welfare, politics, sociology and economics.

Psicología de la salud
Los psicólogos siempre han estado interesados en cuestiones de salud. Sin embargo, hasta finales de la década de 1960 no existió un enfoque dentro de la psicología que se pudiese denominar psicología de la salud. La psicología de la salud se define como el aporte profesional de diferentes áreas de la ciencia psicológica a la promoción, fortalecimiento y mantenimiento de la salud integral, así como el diagnóstico, prevención y tratamiento de la enfermedad. En la presente obra se reúnen un grupo de destacados psicólogos hispanoamericanos quienes, desde su experiencia, abordan temas importantes relacionados con esta área de la psicología. Estamos seguros que la obra resultará de interés para estudiantes de psicología y medicina, psicólogos, médicos y otros profesionales afines, interesados en familiarizarse con la psicología de la salud, la cual se considera la psicología imperante en los próximos años.

If smokers are informed of long-term consequences and are told that quitting can come too late, they are able to evaluate the risks more accurately.
Hasta cuándo hablamos de drogas
A medida que los jóvenes transitan por un natural proceso de búsqueda e individuación, sobre todo en el acelerado mundo que enfrentan en la actualidad, es habitual ver que se relacionan y tropiezan con conductas de riesgo y sustancias psicoactivas. En sus contextos de esparcimiento, estudios y convivencia social, resulta cada día más preocupante la alta incidencia de consumo de alcohol asociado a embriaguez, el uso de marihuana con baja percepción de riesgo, la automedicación de psicofármacos, el uso compulsivo de drogas estimulantes legales y la parición de las adicciones del comportamiento. Frente a este emergente escenario, la gran mayoría de las instituciones de educación supe...
