“it feels like the latest iteration of the psychogenic model of addiction.”It sure does. For precisely that reason, when I wrote up the report for my blog post, I did not refer to it specifically as a study of alcoholics and addicts. It’s basically a sociological study of British pub behavior, seems to me.
