About Me
My name is Lauren and I am studying psychology at the University of Canberra.

I am in the second semester of my third year, enrolled in the unit motivation and emotion.

Chapter Title
My chapter title is: Gambling addiction motivation – What motivates gambling addiction and what can be done about it?

This topic is one that I am passionate about as I see it in my job as a supervisor at Vikings Club, working with poker machines (also called slot machines) and people affected by them.

My Plan

 * Define addiction & gambling as an addicition
 * Prevalence of gambling worldwide, including some statistics
 * Reasons why people gamble (such as chasing their losses, social reasons etc)
 * Comorbidities with drugs and alcohol, psychological disorders
 * What can be done about it - different treatment methods

Any and all feedback would be fantastic, if there is anything of interest or anything else you can think of to add to my plan, that would be great.
