The aim of this paper was to determine the variables associated to relapse in a sample of 21 slotmachine pathological gamblers within a one year follow-up period. In this period there were a total of 35 relapse episodes. Results indicated that the most of relapses are observed in the first three months after treatment. The main reasons of relapse, in a hierarchic order, were the following ones: inadequate money management, negative emotional states, alcohol consumption, craving and social pressure. Implications of this study for clinical practice and future research in this field are commented upon.
En este artículo se presenta un estudio sobre las variables precipitantes de la recaída en una muestra de 21 jugadores patológicos de máquinas tragaperras, en el período de seguimiento de 1 año. Durante este tiempo los jugadores de la muestra sufrieron un total de 35 episodios de recaída. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la mayor parte de las mismas tienen lugar en torno a los 3 primeros meses después de terminar el tratamiento. Las recaídas se producen, por orden de importancia, debido a un inadecuado manejo del dinero, a la presencia de estados emocionales negativos, al consumo de alcohol, al "craving" y a la presión social. Se comentan las implicaciones de este estudio para la investigación y la práctica clínica.
