Abstract
The liberating dimension of human habit in addiction context.
Highlights
The notion of habit has acquired an important role within studies of drug addiction and dependence
In the case of motor habits, behavior is based on a stimulusresponse model, while motivational habits refer to compulsive behavior that is controlled by an emotional/motivational state and seems to be at least partially goaldirected
They affirm that habitual addictive behaviors are related to reinforcement and are conditioned by the presence of diverse environmental and motivational factors associated with the moment of consumption
Summary
The notion of habit has acquired an important role within studies of drug addiction and dependence. Sjoerds’s proposal is a marked improvement over a strictly motor-habit notion of addiction, but we believe that it still falls short of the full context in which the notion of habit acquires its full significance.
