Preface
First of all, I would like to thank my mentor and good friend, Dr. Keis Ohtsuka of Victoria University, for his guidance during my studies as a Ph.D. student. Dr. Ohtsuka’s meticulous concerns and care have been a great help in my studies. I also have to thank Professor Blaszczynski of the University of Sydney and Professor Jackson of the University of Melbourne for their inspiring advice during my Ph.D. studies and for my current research in the psychology of gambling. Lastly, I must thank Mr. Louis Lee, JD, who helped in the proofreading and editing of this book. I hope this book can benefit social workers, psychologists, and counselors in the field of gambling in Hong Kong and Macao. Chi Chuen Chan University of St. Joseph Macao
