Riassunto

Reactivating the Addicted Brain explores the intricate biological factors that contribute to addiction and the journey towards recovery. The workbook offers a vividly rich visual format that provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the genetic and neurochemical elements that underpin addictive behaviors.

Grounded in research, the book includes detailed explanations of the brain's response to various substances, trauma, and the role of genetic susceptibility to addiction. It offers readers concrete strategies for self-assessment and practical tools to support recovery efforts. Designed as both a workbook and a guide, the applied format bridges the gap between practical recovery methods and the understanding of the biological mechanisms involved.

Aimed at students in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, medicine, social work and counseling, Reactivating the Addicted Brain is suitable for courses addressing substance abuse, addiction recovery treatment, and related health sciences.
