This volume marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Nebraska
Symposium on Motivation, the longest continuously running symposium
in the field of psychology.
The motivational processes involved in drug abuse, the largest
health problem in the United States, are the subject of eight
thought-provoking essays that probe behavioral, cognitive,
evolutionary, and physiological perspectives. George F. Koob
discusses the implications of an allostatic view of motivation in
psychopathology. Harriet de Witt considers the dual determinants of
drug use in humans, reward and impulsivity, while R. D. Spealman
and his research team assess the triggers of relapse in nonhuman
primates. Jaak Panksepp and associates elucidate the role of
emotional systems in addiction via a neuroethological perspective,
while Michael T. Bardo and Linda Dwoskin describe the biological
connection between novelty and drug-seeking motivational systems.
Drive, incentive, and reinforcement, along with factors controlling
the reinitiation of drug seeking and the environmental sources of
motivation round out the remaining discussions by Roy A. Wise, Jane
Stewart, and M. Vogel-Sprott.
