| Abstract | Borsboom et al.'s formulation provides an opportunity for a fundamental rethink about the "brain disease model" of addiction that dominates research, treatment, policy, and lay understanding of addiction. We also demonstrate how the American opioid crisis provides a contemporary example of how "brain disease" is not moderated by the environmental context but is instead crucially dependent upon it. |
