"This book is a valuable source for both researchers and
practitioners who are either familiar or unfamiliar with implicit
cognition and addiction" -Emmanuel Kuntsche, ALCALA Most research
on cognitive processes and drug abuse has focused on theories and
methods of explicit cognition, asking people directly to introspect
about the causes of their behavior. However, it may be questioned
to what extent such methods reflect fundamental aspects of human
cognition and motivation. In response to this issue, basic
cognition researchers have started to assess implicit cognitions,
defined as "introspectively unidentified (or inaccurately
identified) traces of past experience that mediate feeling,
thought, or action." Such approaches are less sensitive to
self-justification and social desirability and offer other
advantages over traditional approaches underscored by explicit
cognition. Wiers' Handbook of Implicit Cognition and Addiction lays
the groundwork for new approaches to the study and addictive
behaviors as the first handbook to apply principles of implicit
cognition to the field of addiction. This Handbook features the
work of an interdisciplinary group of internationally renowned
contributing North American and European authors who have brought
together developments in basic research on implicit cognition with
recent developments in addiction research. Key Features: Moves the
field forward by integrating cutting-edge research from formerly
independent disciplines that help provide a better understanding of
the etiology, prevention, and treatment of addictive behaviors Lays
the groundwork for new approaches to the study and treatment of
addictive behaviors as the first handbook to apply principles of
implicit cognition to the field of addiction Presents existing
applications to the prevention and treatment of addictive behaviors
as well as possibilities for future interventions based on new
approaches based on implicit cognition Opens with a chapter,
written by the volume editors, that outlines general theoretical
issues and provides a roadmap to the book Provides integrative
summaries - written by both "insiders" and "outsiders" to the field
- in a final section, highlighting theoretical issues currently
being debated within this newly emerging area of scholarship This
Handbook is a unique, invaluable addition to libraries as well as
to the collections of academics, students, and professionals
interested in how cognitive research can contribute to the
understanding, prevention, and treatment of addictions.
