Impulsivity, dual diagnosis, and the structure of motivated behavior in addiction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 July 2008
Abstract
Defining brain mechanisms that control and adapt motivated behavior will not only advance addiction treatment. It will help society see that addiction is a disease that erodes free will, rather than representing a free will that asks for or deserves consequences of drug-use choices. This science has important implications for understanding addiction's comorbidity in mental illness and reducing associated public health and criminal justice burdens.
