Unbroken Brain

A Revolutionary New Way of Understanding Addiction
Summary:

The book challenges traditional views of addiction as a moral failing or solely a brain disease, proposing instead that it is a learning disorder influenced by personal history and neurobiology. It combines scientific research, psychology, and personal stories to advocate for more compassionate and effective approaches to treating addiction.

Key points:

1. Addiction as Learning Disorder: Szalavitz views addiction as a learning disorder, not a moral failing or chronic disease. She believes addiction stems from the brain's learning and adaptation processes.
