Research Interests
My current interests involve the experiences of families of problem gamblers where the gambler is not seeking help. Literature is limited in the area of familes of problem gamblers and most of what is available concerns families where the gambler is help seeking. I am interested in those families where the gambler does not recognise they have a problem, or does but is resistant to addressing it. My current research involves a series of qualitative interviews with partners of non-treatment seeking problem gamblers. This data will help guide the development of a unilateral intervention for families of non help seeking problem gamblers to help them motivate the gambler to seek help.
