Addictive behaviors are not always recognized or treated in common clinical practice. This class provides an opportunity to learn about comorbidity involving substance use and behaviors with addictive features such as gambling, internet use, shopping, and eating.
A focus of the learning experience will be how addictive behaviors can be hidden with common clinical disorders, as well as hidden amongst other addictions.
