The idea that drug and alcohol addiction are chronic illnesses and not character flaws is not news--this notion has been around for many years. What Hijacked Brains offers is context and personal stories that demonstrate this point in a very accessible package. Dr. Barnes explores how the healthy brain works, how addictive drugs flood basic reward pathways, and what it feels like to grapple with addiction. She discusses how, for individuals, the combination of genetic and environmental factors determines both vulnerability for addiction and the resilience necessary for recovery. Finally, she shows how American culture, with its emphasis on freewill and individualism, tends to blame the addict for bad choices and personal weakness, thereby impeding political and/or health-related efforts to get the addict what she needs to recover." -- Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Substance abuse $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Chronic diseases $x Psychological aspects. 650 12 $a Chronic Disease $x psychology. 650 12 $a Substance-Related Disorders $x psychology. 650 22 $a Behavior, Addictive $x psychology. 650 22 $a Drug Users $x psychology. 941 $a 5 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214031707.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508021536.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20160622013348.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20160325010515.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20151202011627.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8020A8B098C211E5B5097593DAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
