New Theory on Addictions

Abstract
This review questions the value of the extant, 60-year-old dopamine theory of addictions (and hence, theory on pleasure) and provides a different way of explaining how addictions are developed. There is a section of the review particularly associated with addictions involving ingesting fluids (e.g., alcoholic beverages) and food (binge eating disorders and obesity). That section also provides a way of controlling the addictions involved with ingestion similar to what others have promoted via the use of naltrexone as a drug with value in managing ingestive disorders. There are also comments associated with the commerce effective on addictions of alcoholism and eating disorders.
