Description

Unbroken Brain: A Revolutionary New Way of Understanding Addiction Addiction is a complex issue that affects millions of people worldwide, and yet our understanding of it is often stuck in outdated ideas. Maia Szalavitz challenges these conventional views, arguing that addictions are learning disorders that can be understood and treated in a new and groundbreaking way. Szalavitz draws on her own personal experience with addiction, as well as over 25 years of scientific research, to show how addictions are shaped by a range of factors, including timing, history, family, peers, culture, and chemicals. By exploring the complexities of addiction, Szalavitz offers a paradigm-shifting approach to thinking about this condition. This book provides a fresh perspective on addiction, one that is based on the latest scientific research and personal experience. It is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a complex issue, and is likely to be of interest to anyone looking to understand addiction better.
