Unit 2 – Biological Basis of Behavior
Topic 2.5

Because they believe that drug addiction is simply a matter of willpower and choice.
Because individual genetic make-up and personal history can significantly affect one's physiological reaction to drugs.
Because most research on drug effects is done on animals rather than humans.
Because these theories do not take into account societal attitudes towards drug use.
