• Resumen

  • This thesis aims to contribute to scientific progress in the assessment and treatment of Gambling Disorder (GD) by adapting and developing new instruments, validating them, and introducing Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to treat GD. Chapters 1 and 2 focus on research and innovation in GD assessment. They present, on the one hand, the Spanish adaptation and validation of the scale for the evaluation of gambling disorder symptoms (G-SAS) and, on the other hand, the development and validation of the Emotional Gambling Scale (EGS) in people who have recently gambled. The Chapters 3, 4 and 5 present new proposals for the psychological treatment of this problem, including ICTs (e.g., Internet-based programs, mobile geolocation applications and ecological momentary assessment/interventions as complementary tools through the use of smartphones).
