1 Wing Commander, Specialist in Neuropsychiatry, R.A.F. Hospital, Wroughton

A case of compulsive horse race gambling is reported in which treatment by aversion therapy has been followed by remission lasting over twelve months.

The necessity to treat all aspects of the behaviour pattern including the fantasy projection is noted.

Considerable improvement in long-standing marital disharmony occurred following treatment; the significance of this is discussed.
