Rethinking Addiction at Conway Hall

Join Marc Lewis in an illuminating talk on why the 'disease model' of addiction is wrong.

The psychiatric establishment and rehab industry in the Western world have branded addiction a brain disease, based on evidence that brains change with drug use. But in The Biology of Desire, cognitive neuroscientist and former addict Marc Lewis makes a convincing case that addiction is not a disease, and shows why the disease model has become an obstacle to healing.
