“…The first article in this section pays tribute to Dr. Petry’s pioneering work on gambling disorder (Ledgerwood, 2019). As noted earlier, Dr. Petry studied the impact of delay discounting on substance use behavior, and with colleagues she extended this work to gambling across several studies (Andrade & Petry, 2012; Madden, Petry, & Johnson, 2009); her expertise in research on substance use informed and enriched this work.…”

This special issue of Psychology of Addictive Behaviors honors the life and work of a beloved friend, colleague, and mentor, Dr. Nancy M. Petry, who died on July 17, 2018 of breast cancer. At the time of her death, Dr. Petry was the editor of this journal. We were gratified to receive many submissions for this issue, resulting in an outstanding set of 24 selected articles. These articles span the multiple areas of addiction research to which Dr. Petry made key contributions, and this introduction highlights her work in these areas. The topic areas in this issue include behavior analysis and behavior pharmacology; contingency management—randomized controlled trials; contingency management—implementation and dissemination; demographic predictors of outcomes across multiple clinical trials; reinforcer pathology and decision making; and gambling. We can only imagine what great work Dr. Petry would have contributed in the future, but the research presented in this issue makes clear that her legacy and impact will continue to grow.

“…According to Petry et al (2017) , gambling problems have in the last decade affected 0.2% to 4.0% of the population. The gambling disorder has grown in recent years ( Ledgerwood, 2020 ). Gambling can cause health issues like drug and alcohol abuse ( Parhami and Fong, 2015 ; Matheson et al, 2019 ; Obedzinski et al, 2019 ; Reid et al, 2020 ), and gamblers can be very abusive (violent behaviors) toward their family members ( Lane et al, 2016 ; Palmer du Preez et al, 2018 ; Hellberg et al, 2019 ; Suomi et al, 2019 ).…”

This study focuses on understanding the experiences of family members of problem gamblers in the United Kingdom and the gambling consequences in their lives. Family members of problem gamblers, even though they suffer from gambling consequences, the impacts of gambling are under-researched. Qualitative research through in-depth interviews was employed. Thematic analysis was used to gain a deeper insight into gambling. Nine female participants were interviewed based on a semi-structured questionnaire. The results of this study indicated that close family members of problem gamblers had suffered not only financial devastation but also harsh psychological and mental health damages. Furthermore, family members suffer from gamblers’ abusive and violent behaviors. Addiction was a key factor of gamblers’ habit; fear, anxiety, and depression were some of the health issues derived from gambling. Overall, gambling addiction leads to further addiction, crime, and severe, family-relation sufferings. The study results suggest that the London Gambling Commission and regulating authority should change gambling policy, reduce gambling points, and limit gambling slot machines in food markets and community areas. More support is needed for family members affected by gamblers’ addictive gambling behaviors.
