dc.description.abstractThe phenomenon of family violence associated with addictions in general, and with gambling in particular, is analyzed by the medical model in North America as being a disorder of impulsion, pathology or a disease. This approach, which permits, socially and legally, to label the gambler as suffering from a disease or pathology has certain consequences for the individual, his family members and the society. From a sociological and systemic perspective, this article attempts to identify some markers in these family dynamics with gambling and family violence issues.eng

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
