This week we will examine the chemical sense of smell (olfaction) and taste. This is a two-part discussion question (part one pertaining to olfaction and part two pertaining to taste) and both parts must be answered in order to receive full credit. After viewing the material for this week as outlined in the syllabus, discuss the components of the olfactory system: the olfactory receptors, the olfactory sensory neurons, the olfactory bulb and the cortex.
Then, discuss what kinds of evidence support the idea that different people may have different taste experiences. What mechanisms might be responsible for these differences? Lastly, explain the role of culture in the development of smell and taste and provide two examples of how culture could account for variation in perception.
Addiction and Obsession Discussion Case Study Paper
The age-old debate in the field of addiction is whether or not addiction is a disease or just merely a rational choice, a moral and personality weakness or bad habit.
The biopsychosocial model of addiction attempts to resolve this debate by taking a holistic approach to addiction and treatment. Strength-based perspectives and harm reduction are also considered important, client-centered approaches to addiction today.
The biopsychosocial model, strengths approach, and harm reduction are three key themes of the eText and this course. For this week’s DB, please:
Describe the biopsychosocial-spiritual model of addiction, and how it attempts to resolve the debate as to whether addiction is simply a disease, rational choice, or bad habit.
Please summarize the strengths-perspective and how it differs from traditional approaches to addiction (that often focus on loss and weaknesses).
Outline the philosophy and practice of harm reduction.
What are your thoughts on using the biopsychosocial model, strengths approach, and harm reduction to treat addiction?
