• Actor Critic Model

• Addiction As Dislocation Theory

• Alcohol As A Family Disease

Unlike the way AA refers to addiction as a brain disease or disease of the will, Danshukai considered alcoholism to be a family disease, and families were included in the therapeutic processes around managing a member’s alcoholism.

• Choice Theory

It’s a shame that our culture can’t separate choice and agency from blame and accountability. These terms have become laden with implications that make it really difficult to discuss something on its own terms. For instance, much of the disagreement over describing addiction as a disease comes from debate over the therapeutic value of conveying to clients that they have choice in the form of…

• Degeneration Theory

Any coverage of the history of addiction, or anything in mental health, that doesn’t touch on the hubris of eugenics is failing to be honest about the ways scientific institutions can aggregate enough hubris to try and play God. The degeneration theories put out by those like B.A. Morel functioned as a perverse parallel to the developments preceding Darwin’s natural selection and subsequent…

• Disease Model

When I first heard of the disease model, I honestly shrugged. For an individual who finds themselves in a treatment program, being introduced to the label of a “disease” can feel relatively quaint. It doesn’t change the overwhelming burden on the individual to overcome it through some calibration of personal willpower, and it doesn’t lessen the impacts of addiction on loved ones or the community…

• Minnesota Model

From the 1990 book Broadening the Base of Treatment for Alcohol Problems: Although treatment programs continue to vary along ideological lines, the field has seen in recent years the evolution and emergence of hybrid programs that claim to reflect the biopsychosocial model. The major hybrid is the Minnesota Model of Chemical Dependence Intervention and Treatment (Laundergan, 1982), a treatment…

• Moral Model

I don’t think I can do better than the succint summary included in this link: The moral model rests on a straightforward premise: using drugs is wrong, and people who become addicted have made immoral choices. Substance use is rooted in immorality, and the person using substances bears complete blame for their situation. There is no disease, no brain malfunction, no genetic vulnerability in this…

• Temperance Model

Temperance movements and organizations have been around since alcoholic drinks were manufactured at scale. In the 19th century, in the lead up to Prohibition in America, arguments to ban alcohol centered less on the need to morally reform “habitual drunks” and more on the substance itself being the root of evil. “Habitual drunks” were merely those who had submitted to a temptation like any sin…
