Addiction is a learning disorder, a developmental disorder, which is a different way of thinking of addiction than it being a disease or a moral failing.
Ever wondered if addiction is more than just a disease or moral failing? In this compelling episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Maia Szalavitz, a seasoned reporter and author known for her groundbreaking work on addiction. Szalavitz brings a fresh perspective by framing addiction as a learning and developmental disorder. She dives into how coping mechanisms and childhood experiences shape addiction, challenging the conventional views we often hold.
The conversation also touches on the shortcomings of American drug policy and the limitations of traditional 12-step programs. With an emphasis on harm reduction and the complexities of human behavior, Szalavitz encourages listeners to approach addiction with empathy and understanding. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of addiction and explore new ways to support those affected by it.
