[edit]I wonder why Alcoholics Anonymous is listed here in the See Also section, as AA does not follow addiction as a life-process, but rather a disease. Oldefarquer (talk) 16:26, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
The "Criticism" section isn't really criticism of the Life-process model but a defense of the disease model. Viciouslies (talk) 04:13, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
Discussion pointer
[edit]I've started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine#Models of addiction as a neutral ground regarding this article and the Disease model of addiction article. --Geniac (talk) 13:45, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
"Outdated"?
[edit]Someone inserted the term "outdated" into the lead:
- The life-process model of addiction is
thean outdated view that addiction is not a disease but rather a habitual response and a source of gratification and security that can be understood only in the context of social relationships and experiences.
- The life-process model of addiction is
Has a consensus formed that this model is incorrect? The Nestler citation doesn't seem to address this at all, never mentioning the words "disease" or "life". Also, can a behavioral neuroscience question can be answered from a purely biological standpoint? It's my understanding that biology and psychology are intertwined, and each can affect the other. --Hirsutism (talk) 19:50, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
