A new look for addiction training in psychology programs: Comment on Dimoff, Sayette, and Norcross (2017)
1Fielding Graduate University.
Abstract:
Dimoff, Sayette, and Norcross (2017) documented a serious omission in the education of psychologists. Their research showed a paucity of addiction training in doctoral programs despite the growing prevalence of addictions. Although their article briefly discussed possible explanations and barriers to explain this finding, the article itself was shaped by implicit assumptions about addiction training that contribute to the field's failure to embrace such training. The current article identifies these assumptions and offers elements of an alternative approach to addiction training better suited to psychologists. (PsycINFO Database Record
