Crisis Application Assignment 3

All of us have addictions, whether they are drinking alcohol, eating chocolate, gambling on blackjack, buying plaid sport coats, overspending on credit cards, or reading the sports page at breakfast. Anything that we start out wanting and not necessarily needing but end up either psychologically or physically craving may be considered addicting. Such addictive behaviors may be as simple as not being able to pass the candy bar machine to attending every University of Memphis basketball game—no matter what! In this application assignment, you will explore the concept of addictions and discuss methods for treating individuals who suffer from this disorder.

· Describe Conceptual Understanding of Addictions Theory
