April 9th: Gambling as a Target for Health Behavior Change via Zoom

Jeremiah Weinstock, Ph.D., Professor & Department Chair, Department of Psychology, Saint Louis University

Dr. Weinstock’s clinical and research efforts center on addressing the difficulties in helping individuals with addictive disorders make lasting and meaningful changes in their lives, with emphasis on the characterization and treatment of gambling disorders. Much of his research is translational and focuses on measures to assess gambling disorder and randomized clinical trials examining the efficacy of psychosocial interventions, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and contingency management. He also maintains a small clinical practice focused on gambling disorder.
