Overview for Neuropsychologically-Informed Treatment of Addictions

A brief description about this Activity.

Substance use has been characterized as a moral failing, a lack of will, or the result of bad genes. None of this is true, and thus they led to interventions that largely failed to treat addictions. Humans have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to survive. Addiction is a consequence of a biology that no longer matches our modern cultural landscapes. This webinar will cover several the following topics: the evolutionary theory undergirding addictions; the biological, including neuropsychological, responses to perceived threat; the role of perceived threat in addictions; and some powerful evolutionarily and neuropsychologically-informed interventions to treat addictions.
