Abstract

An understanding of addiction theory is vital to understanding addiction itself. Theory of Addiction takes theory development from a simple â?~rational addiction modelâ?T, adding elements such as compulsion, self-control and habit, to explain the â?~big observationsâ?T in the field. As well as explaining and evaluating the arguments of each of the prevailing schools of thought, the book develops a new, synthetic theory of addiction that brings together the diverse elements of current models. Designed to enable students, practitioners and researchers to establish a starting point in the labyrinthine world of addiction theory, Theory of Addiction supports abstract thinking with concrete and realistic scenarios, underlining the centrality of theoretical understanding to working with addiction. â?¢ Presents a digest of major existing theories in one volume â?¢ Develops a new synthetic theory of addiction â?¢ Recognises the diversity of the experience of addiction â?¢ Discusses factors at the level of both the individual and populations â?¢ Provides key recommendations for the development of effective interventions

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
