Chapter 5 Mapping Punishment: Provincial Places to Dissect Staging Post-Exec…

Chapter 5 Addiction The belief oscillation hypothesis
In popular, philosophical and many scientific accounts of addiction, strong desires and other affective states carry a great deal of the explanatory burden. Much less of a role is given to cognitive states than to affective. But as Pickard and Ahmed (2016; see also Pickard 2016) note, addiction may be as much or more a disorder of cognition as of compulsion or desire. Pickard’s focus is on de…
