Assignment – Week 2
Top of Form
Review the assigned readings from this week, paying special attention to the mechanisms of actions of various substances, the physiological and biological influences on addiction, and the common treatment approaches. Consider how your perspectives on addiction may have changed, and how you will use this information in your future counseling practice.
For this Journal entry (1–2 pages), reflect on the assigned readings for this week. How has this information changed your beliefs and perspectives about addiction? What concepts–if any–are challenging for you to conceptualize? How can you apply these concepts to your future practice, and what areas need additional development?
