History and Etiology of Addiction–Jacobs (1986) stated in his view, “addiction is a dependent state acquired over time to relieve stress. Two interrelated sets of factors are required to predispose persons to addiction: an abnormal physiological resting state, and childhood experiences producing a deep sense of inadequacy. He argues that all addictions (drugs, sex, alcohol, etc.) follow a similar three-stage course of development”. Do you agree or disagree based on current brain research? Please support your idea with the theory that you believe is the most realistic form your point of view.
