We are all touched by addiction – personally, within our circle of family and friends, and within our community. Addiction and its related harms can be crippling for those affected and the people around them. But how does addiction develop? What can we do to treat it? What can we do to prevent it? In this course we explore how addiction develops, and look at the risks environmentally, genetically and personally for developing addiction. We examine what happens when a drug enters your body and your brain and how your brain changes – how this process, can make recovering from addiction such a challenge. Our team will describe how we can best treat addiction and how national and international policies help limit the harms from addiction. King’s College London Institute of Psychiatry is a world leader in the science and treatment of addiction. Lecturers in this course are drawn from a variety of disciplines throughout King’s College London – who work together to understand and respond to addiction. Each week, our teaching is supplemented by some of the world’s leading scientists who will present cutting edge neuroscientific research. Research that will lead to a greater understanding of how addiction develops and how we can treat it most effectively. By understanding addiction, we can shed light on the greater issues of self-control and choice. Indeed, we are developing a greater understanding of ourselves. By the end of this course, students should be able to:
How do addictions develop? How are they best treated and how are they prevented? This course explores these key questions further.
