About the Event:

DSM-5 (a) avoids defining addiction (referring only to

the generic “Substance Use Disorders”), (b) includes the

following degrees of such disorders — mild, moderate, and

severe, (c) expands the “addiction” umbrella for the first time

to include non-substance (behavioral) addictions, beginning

with gambling, (d) suggests the likelihood that other such

addictions will soon be added (e.g., Internet, videos, sex,

eating/obesity), (e) fields claims from important psychiatric

figures that this document is not sufficiently rooted in

neuroscience. Psychologists must be prepared for a new

— but shifting — concept of addiction, so as to be true

to psychological theory and evidence-based techniques,

responsive to the range of clinical addictive problems clients

may present, and make use of the soundest scientific

concepts. Stanton Peele’s workshop will address these

questions.

Join the BCPA for a day of fun in the park! Come out with your partners, children, and pets and spend the catching up with old friends and making some new ones!
