Since Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935, it's 12 step program of spiritual and character development has helped countless alcoholics and drug addicts curb their self-destructive behaviors.  However, the program was developed at a time when comparatively little was known about the function of the brain and it has never been studied scientifically. This is the first book to take a systematic look at the molecular neurobiology associated with each of the 12 steps and to review the significant body of addiction research literature that is pertinent to the program. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in neuroscience. 606 $aSubstance abuse$xTreatment$xMolecular aspects 606 $aMolecular neurobiology 615 0$aSubstance abuse$xTreatment$xMolecular aspects. 615 0$aMolecular neurobiology. 676 $a612.89 701 $aBlum$b Kenneth$01059926 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437849703321 996 $aMolecular Neurobiology of Addiction Recovery$92509599 997 $aUNINA
