Addiction destroys lives. In The Addicted Brain, a leading neuroscientist
explains how and why this happens-and presents advances in treatment and
prevention. Using breathtaking brain imagery and other research, Michael
Kuhar, Ph.D., shows the powerful, long-term brain changes that drugs can
cause, revealing why it can be so difficult for addicts to escape their grip.
In plain English, Kuhar describes why some people are far more susceptible
to addiction than others. He illuminates striking neural similarities
between drugs and other pleasures potentially capable of causing abuse or
addiction-includin g alcohol, gambling, sex, caffeine, and even Internet
overuse. Finally, he outlines the 12 characteristics most often associated
with successful treatment.
Authoritative and easy to understand, The Addicted Brain offers today's most
up-to-date scientific explanation of addiction-and what addicts, their
families, and society can do about it.
