Bill Rohde asked this question about
Unbroken Brain: A Revolutionary New Way of Understanding Addiction:
Why doesn't she discuss the biology of addiction? The problem with learning theory is that one can easily find as many or more people with the same backgrounds and motivations as the addicts that Ms. Szalavitz talks about who do not learn how to be drug addicts. Details of her own treatment are sadly lacking. How many people got clean after reading this book?
