But even with the unprecedented consideration, our knowing of dependancy is trapped in unfounded 20th century ideas, dependancy as a crime or as brain condition, and in equally out-of-date remedy.

Complicated both of those the idea of the addict’s “broken brain” and the notion of a basic “addictive personality,” Unbroken Mind delivers a radical and groundbreaking new perspective, arguing that addictions are understanding diseases and displays how observing the affliction this way can untangle our present debates more than treatment, avoidance and plan.
