[Xmca-l] paper on models of addiction

[Annalisa Aguilar]

Hi happy Xmcars!


I just finished reading this paper by Eugene Raikhel called "From the brain disease model to ecologies of addiction." (2015). I believe the author is Russian, though I am not sure.


I found it in my academia.edu stream no less, likely because of my interest in models of mind.


What I like about the paper is the author's integration of so many thinkers as well as his inclusion of pressures of capitalism into models for ecologies of addiction.


The paper sort of stops suddenly in a kind of summation that (and I paraphrase), "we can all create a plural construct and discourse with the models that we have," without really explaining that too much, so that would be my only disappointment, hence a little anti-climactic.


In any case, I thought this paper might resonate with members of this list. FWIW! [😊]


Kind regards,


Annalisa
