[A case of pathologic (F63.0) or dangerous (Z72.6) gambling?].

The authors recapitulate the term of pathological gambling in different classifications incl. the 10th revision of the ICD. It is a new concept which involves certain obscure points also from the linguistic aspect. They demonstrate on a forensic expert opinion elaborated by the Faculty why the statement of the accused that he committed extensive property offenses as a result of pathological gambling was not accepted by experts.
