In this episode, we discuss research on addiction by Bruce Alexander and compare it against B.F. Skinner's work. We dive into Dislocation theory which suggests that social and economic forces alienate people from structures of meaning, and that addictive behaviors are a way to fill that void. We finally discuss 'Rat Park,' Alexander's solution to the rat isolation + what we can learn and apply in our recovery/healing journeys as High ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) communities.
