Title: Very informative
Product review: I teach a class on counseling the chemically dependent, and I use this set of videos to break up the monotony of me lecturing. The series speaks to the neurobiology of addiction by showing brain scans and discussing the dopamine system with some frequency. These videos encompass a variety of themes on addiction, including the perspective of addicts, the perspective of a parent of an addict, and the medical properties of addiction. Some of my students complain that the videos let addicts off too easily by not holding them responsible for their addictions. I agree, to an extent, but I think the purpose of this video is to educate people about how addiction perpetuates itself, not place blame. This set of dvds has been a great point of discussion in my class.
