		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s a very controversial topic in the field. Research has not shown to be that there is a specific addictive personality but the reality is there are some people that are looking for good feelings all the time. They kind of organize their life around good feelings. So, there&#8217;s part of that addictive personality, part [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to recent statements by our new drug czar, most doctors don&#8217;t really see addiction as a disease. It seems to me that for many years, people in the medical field didn&#8217;t want to treat addiction problems because of the lousy success rate. They found it easier to send them off to AA. I think [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Outpatient services for behavioral addiction are preferable primarily because you&#8217;re living in the environment that you&#8217;re going to live in after all the treatment is completed. With outpatient care, you&#8217;re going to be faced with the stresses of life that you&#8217;re going to have to live with later. You&#8217;re going to have to deal with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Relapse happens to behavioral addicts because it&#8217;s very normal to relapse. No matter what it is that you&#8217;ve done for a long period of time, it is still difficult if you are asking yourself or someone is asking you to not do that. Let&#8217;s say we asked you not to brush your teeth; I think [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stages of Change&#8217; was developed by Prochaska &#38; DiClemente. It basically was a basis of research about cigarette smoking literature, and it helps cognitive behavior therapists, in particular, understand the motivation of an individual who&#8217;s coming in for treatment. The first stage in the &#8216;Stages of Change&#8217; is called precontemplation, meaning the client just says, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cure is a very funny word. Cure also comes out of the disease model. Cure sort of says &#8220;Well I was healthy prior and then I&#8217;ve gotten sick and now I&#8217;m going to return to health.&#8221; In many respects, there are no real cures to addiction. Unfortunately as an addiction evolves, especially a behavioral addiction, [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s start talking about motivating ourselves to change by acknowledging something called ambivalence. Okay, you have an addiction, or you&#8217;ve decided you think you have an addiction, and you know it&#8217;s not good for you, you know you&#8217;re spending too much money or spending [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First of all, the term “recovery” comes out of the 12-Step disease model notion. Recovery, of course, comes out of the medical model, where you&#8217;re in a healthy state, you catch a disease, and you recover from the disease.
