Have you ever wondered why two people can use the same drug, yet one becomes addicted while the other doesn’t? The answer lies in the intricate web of factors that contribute to addiction. In “Determinants of Addiction: Neurobiological, Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sociocultural Factors,” we delve into the complexities of addiction to understand how individual factors at the genetic, cellular, anatomical, cognitive-behavioral, and sociocultural levels influence susceptibility to substance use disorders.
The first section of this comprehensive book reviews the neurobiological determinants of addiction, examining how drugs hijack the brain’s reward pathway and alter various neurotransmitter systems, including dopamine. This in-depth exploration provides a solid foundation for understanding the biological mechanisms underlying addiction.
The second section of the book covers the behavioral and cognitive determinants of addiction, such as conditioning, memory processes, and decision-making. By understanding how these factors contribute to addiction, readers can gain valuable insights into the psychological and social aspects of substance use disorders.
The final section of the book examines individual differences in addiction vulnerability, with a focus on personality factors, sociocultural factors, sex/gender, and stress. This section provides a nuanced understanding of how various individual factors can influence an individual’s susceptibility to addiction.
Throughout the book, the authors reference commonly used drugs such as nicotine, ethanol (alcohol), opioids, and cocaine, providing a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of addiction.
