Project description
 

A core problem with all forms of addiction is the lack of conscious control over behavior and feelings. In cognitive psychology, such problematic behavior is most often attriuted to automatic processes and cognitions. The stay of Dr. Matt Field fits within the research on the causal role of attentional bias in addiction.
