The hypothesis that that leads this case discusses that the pathological game, considered as a symptom, represents the paradoxical impossibility of accessing a playful interpersonal dimension. This hypothesis is supported by the "twin" theories of J. Panksepp’s emotional systems and G. Liotti’s motivational systems in an attempt to integrate knowledge on the so-called social and affective neurosciences with clinical practice.
