Abstrak

The Gambler adalah sebuah novel yang ditulis oleh Fyodor Dostoevsky tentang seorang guru muda yang bekerja di keluarga seorang jenderal Rusia yang pernah menjadi orang kaya. Novel ini, seperti dapat dilihat dalam novel back-cover, adalah refleksi dari kecanduan ke penulis judi rolet. Dostoevsky menyelesaikan penulisan novel ini dalam batas waktu yang sangat singkat sehingga ia dapat melunasi utang judi. Adapun tokoh utama dalam novel The Gambler, Alexei Ivanovich, dapat dikategorikan sebagai seorang pathological gambler. Hal ini dikarenakan dia memenuhi paling tidak 5 dari 10 karakteristik seorang pathological gambler yaitu preoccupation (terobsesi dengan perjudian), tolerance (meningkatkan jumlah taruhan), escape (sebagai bentuk pelarian), chasing (selalu berusaha memenangkan kembali apa yang kalah), loss of control (kehilangan kontrol diri), dan bailout (dan mengandalkan uang dari orang lain).

kata kunci: penjudi, perjudian, kecanduan
