Cover of Addiction is a Choice
[edit]I was going to upload a copy of the cover of Shaler’s book, but figuring out how to do that is a career. Maybe someone would like to do it.Nicmart (talk) 00:17, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

I'm confused as to how this works. it's gets relisted with request for comments, while the message at the bottom says don't make comments.
- Strong keep In 1999, Schaler published a book, Addiction is a Choice, which is arguably the most important book challenging the "medical model" of addiction. Current Psychology is published by Springer Publishing, long one of the most esteemed academic publishers. His views on addiction are not "fringe." For instance, they are virtually identical to those of Carl Hart, chair of the psychology department at Columbia University, but Schaler was there first. His book was endorsed by Morris Chafetz, founding director of the National Institutes on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, as far from fringe as one could imagine.
