You have seen the important role that both biology and the social environment play in the development of addictive behaviors. However, these factors and the importance of them vary from person to person based on various factors and influences. Answer the following questions
· What role do biological factors play in addiction?
· Why do some studies indicate that children who do not live with an addicted parent have the same likelihood of being addicted themselves?
M2D2: Brain Disease
Over the past few years, we have learned a great deal about the role of the brain in the addictive process. In this activity, you will discuss some of these recent findings in the context of a specific case.
Review the video titled Brain imaging (Links to an external site.) and answer the following questions:
· What was the researcher explaining to John?
· How did John respond?
· What would the consequences be if he changes his behavior and what would happen if he does not change his behavior
What do you think your reaction to this would have been if John was your client?
