Abstract

Presents an obituary for Nancy M. Petry (1968-2018). Until the time of her death, she was the editor of Psychology of Addictive Behavior. Nancy had 371 articles published, an average of more than 15 articles per year since her career began. She was the principal investigator on 28 grants from the National Institutes of Health, author of three books, and editor of four more. Nancy's diversity of interests is seen in the separate line of scholarship she undertook focused on understanding and treating pathological gambling, which is best captured in her 2005 book Pathologic Gambling, published by the APA.
