Book Reading #26 - Opening Skinner's Box

Chapter 7
Summary
In this chapter drug dependence is tested and observed. The idea of addiction is talked about and whether it really is a disease or what. It is mentioned that no matter the fluctuation of other variables, addiction constantly remains at around 1 percent.

Discussion
I find this study to be quite interesting just because of personal reasons. The idea of addiction being a disease I think is much more complicated than most people want to make it to be. They see it simply as a choice, which in a way it is but there is something more.
