Smart Counsel

Rhys Pasimio continues his lecture series in an Overview of Addictions class in a Master in Counseling program. In this lecture, he discusses a variety of theories that answer the question of What is Addiction? These include the Enlightenment Model, Genetic Model, Disease Model, Evolutionary Model, Educational Model, Psychological Model, Developmental Model, and Socio-cultural model. He spends the most time on the Disease Model, examining implications of regarding addicted people as “Sick” rather than merely “Deviant.” This episode of SMART Counsel features the following professionals: Rhys Pasimio – rhys@newpatterncounseling.com Please visit www.patreon.com/smartcounsel to learn how you can support the podcast.
