Date: 2023-02-22

Welcome to our latest video exploring the intricate interplay between evolutionary psychology, cultural influences, and the development of addictive disorders. In this video, we delve into the concept of the brain-culture mismatch and its profound implications for understanding addiction.

Addictive disorders represent a complex interaction between biological predispositions and environmental factors, including cultural norms and societal pressures. Our discussion will shed light on how evolutionary adaptations may clash with modern cultural practices, contributing to the vulnerability to addiction.

As psychotherapy professionals, addiction counselors, and enthusiasts of evolutionary psychology, we invite you to explore the nuanced connections between our ancient brain circuitry and the modern world's addictive temptations. Through examining these dynamics, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of addictive behaviors and inform strategies for prevention and treatment.
