Articles liés à The Biology of Desire: why addiction is not a disease
Synopsis
Through the vivid, true stories of five addicts, a neuroscientist explains how addiction happens in the brain, and what we can do to overcome it. Doctors have branded addiction a brain disease, treating it as something which can be cured, or at least managed, by professionals. But in this riveting and provocative book - which tells the stories of five people who journeyed into and out of addiction - neuroscientist and former addict Marc Lewis makes the convincing case that addiction isn't a disease at all. Instead, he argues that addiction is a normal neurological process: the brain seeking pleasure and then repeating the same thoughts and behaviours that lead to pleasure until they become a habit, or an addiction. Lewis shows why treatment based on the 'disease model' often fails, and how addicts can achieve lasting recovery using neuroplasticity. Through a combination of intimate human stories and robust, readable science, he offers a unique view on addiction which is both enlightening and optimistic.

Vendeur : Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Through the vivid, true stories of five addicts, a neuroscientist explains how addiction happens in the brain, and what we can do to overcome it.The psychiatric establishment and rehab industry in the Western world have branded addiction a brain disease, based on evidence that brains change with drug use. But in The Biology of Desire, cognitive neuroscientist and former addict Marc Lewis makes a convincing case that the disease model has become an obstacle to healing.Lewis reveals addiction as an unintended consequence of the brain doing what it's supposed to do - seek pleasure and relief - in a world that's not cooperating. Brains are designed to restructure themselves with normal learning and development,but this process is accelerated in addiction when highly attractive rewards are pursued repeatedly. Lewis shows why treatment based on the disease model so often fails, and how treatment can be retooled to achieve lasting recovery, given the realities of brain plasticity. Combining intimate human stories with clearly rendered scientific explanation, The Biology of Desire is enlightening and optimistic reading for anyone who has wrestled with addiction either personally or professionally.
