Genetics: No more addictive personality
The role of temperament, metabolism and development make the inheritance of addiction a complex affair.
Journal Article
No more addictive personality
According to George Koob, director of the US National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism in Bethesda, Maryland, the children of people who are dependent on alcohol are 3-5 times more likely to develop the disorder than the rest of the population - and this risk is roughly the same regardless of whether they are raised by their alcohol-dependent parents or adopted by parents who are not dependent on alcohol.

Squaring the Circle: Addiction, Disease and Learning
The history of ideas about addiction often comes down to a history of debates over the use and meaning of language (Levine et al. Journal of Studies on Alcohol 15:493-506, 1978). Nowhere is this more clear than in the interminable \"Is addiction a 'disease'?\" debate. In Marc Lewis' excellent Biology of Desire and in his paper that centers this issue, there is far more agreement between his work and mine than there is disagreement on the \"disease\" question. Here, however, I make a case for greater compatibility between the \"disease\" view and learning models of addiction than Lewis does, because I think the nuance is worth exploring. Indeed, if addiction science and ethics paid more attention to nuance in general, the whole field would be far better off.

Comparing pain and addiction stories provides a unique insight into the way these issues are seen through different moral lenses. Addiction stories are tales of sin and redemption, while pain narratives focus on suffering and worthiness of care. In order to improve ethical treatment of both conditions, we cannot continue to see addiction as immorality and patient abandonment or criminalization as an acceptable approach to it.
