The impact of pathological gambling on health, family and children of the pathological gambler constitutes very essential part of that chapter. The main goal of the Bachelor Thesis consisted in ascertaining the impacts of pathological gambling on the individual, the family and the family system. Partial goals consisted in ascertaining whether pathological gambling has endangered the gambler{\crq}s job, which the social impacts have been, and further in mapping of the influence of pathological gambling on marital or partner life.

The practical part used the method of qualitative research, executed in form of semi-structured phenomenological interview based on pre-prepared set of questions. The answers of the respondents show that gambling makes most of them suffer from depressions and nervousness, which leads to the conclusion that pathological gambling upsets the psychical condition of persons suffering from this addictive disease. The research further shows that pathological gambling has unambiguously negative impact on marriage and subsequently also on children in the relevant family. The practical part includes also discussion with authors from whom the theoretical part drew information. The conclusions from the research correspond to expert literature almost in all aspects. The author believes that in order to restrict the incidence of pathological gambling in the Czech Republic, change of legislation is particularly needed, as well as extension of primarily preventive programs within this issue. This Thesis can be used for example by institutions dealing with this issue, as well as within primarily preventive actions or for the purpose of further studies and researches. It can also serve for teaching and it can find application within local administration and self-administration.
