Who determines the value of drug-taking behavior? Cultural considerations for a theory of behavioral choice
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 19 (4):580-581 (1996)
Abstract
Heyman's analysis of addiction suggests that drug taking is irrational. The irrationality of drug taking, however, may depend on the acceptance of mainstream society's view of what is valuable. Consideration of the addict's viewpoint and cultural aspects of drug taking may be useful in trying to fathom the “rationality” of drug taking.My notes
