September 28, 2017 - The Rat Park Revisited: Rethinking Addiction - Bruce K. Alexander, PhD Professor Emeritus Department of Psychology Simon Fraser University British Columbia
Dr. Alexander posits that the most effective response to a growing addiction problem is a social and political one, rather than an individual one: to reshape society with enough force and imagination to enable people to find social integration and meaning in everyday life. Then great numbers of them would not need to fill their inner void with addictions. |
