Addictions Zusammenfassung

Addictions: A Social Psychological Perspective Catalina E. Kopetz (Wayne State University, USA)

The current volume brings together social psychological theories and concepts and discusses their relevance to understanding substance use and addiction. It identifies convergence points between traditional perspectives on addiction and social psychological theory and research. This coexistence, which acknowledges the value of the conceptual and methodological advancements in each relevant field and attempts to integrate them, promotes scientific understanding and a more effective prevention and treatment of addiction.

Addictions Bewertungen

Addiction is such a puzzle. Many theories and approaches have been tried, to varying success. Its time for an updated, comprehensive overview of addictive behavior, which this volume provides. Topics ranging from behavioral economics to implicit cognition to social norms to merely being in a group showcase how the mind and body influence addiction. This is a mesa-level survey that gives enough details so that you grasp the point without getting bogged down by inane details. Ideal for the scholar who wants to know the basics on the psychology of addiction.

Kathleen Vohs, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota; editor of the Handbook of Self-Regulation (Guilford)

"Kopetz and Lejuez have assembled an excellent team of addiction scientists who have produced a text the will quickly make its mark. Particularly noteworthy is the chapter entitled "Motivation and Self-regulation," which should be required reading for anyone in the addiction field. It will change your perspective and help you to understand why people behave as do."

Carl Hart, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry, Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry, Columbia University
