In
recent decades doctors have branded addiction a brain disease, and
treated it as such. But in this riveting and provocative talk,
neuroscientist and former addict Marc Lewis makes the convincing case
that addiction isn’t a disease at all. Using personal stories and robust
science, he explains how addiction really impacts our brains, and how
neuroplasticity and a developmental approach to treatment can help to
overcome it.
Marc Lewis is a neuroscientist and professor of
developmental psychology, recently at the University of Toronto, where
he taught and conducted research from 1989 to 2010, and presently at
Radboud University in the Netherlands. He is the author or co-author of
over 50 journal publications in psychology and neuroscience, editor of
an academic book on developmental psychology, and co-author of a book
for parents. More recently he has written two books concerning
addiction.
