Assignment: Scholar Practitioner Project Assignment: The Disease Theoretical Model of Addiction

There are a number of theoretical models that explain addiction from a wide range of perspectives. It may be ideal to consider addiction from a broader perspective as a condition influenced by the interaction of all spheres of life: biological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual.

While no one model will be all-inclusive, the medical model is more widely accepted than others in the field. The medical model, also known as the disease theoretical model, is more comprehensive than other models and is currently the most applied model in the treatment of addiction. It is the model that you are most likely to encounter as a helping professional.

For this Assignment, review this week’s Resources. Focus on the strengths and limitations of the disease theoretical model of addiction as it applies to Marge from this week’s media piece. Consider the limitations in its applicability in treatments of addiction. This Assignment will inform your Scholar Practitioner Project (SPP) for this course.

Assignment:

In a 2- to 3-page APA-formatted paper, address the following:

• Explain the key points of the disease theoretical model of addiction.

• Explain two strengths and two limitations of this theoretical model.

• Explain the major contributions of this theoretical model to the field of addiction treatment.

• Explain whether the limitations that you identified may affect the applicability of the model in the treatment of addiction and why.

Write a 1500 – 2000 word (6-7 pages) essay that fully addresses the following. You should bring in at least 5 additional sources beyond the assigned readings that may apply. Use the Excelsior Library Research Guides and One Search tools to find appropriate academic sources.
You must select a topic that focuses on scientific/medical research on subjects either human or animal. This must be research not current care practices. Do not select “embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia, assisted suicide etc. These topics are either not actual research or are not scientific controversies that lead to ethical dilemmas for the scientists and society. Review the following power point on distinguishing ethical dilemmas from personal moral beliefs. 382Ethical.pptx
Part One:
This assignment requires a topic proposal and outline.
• The 1 paragraph topic proposal, tell why it is an ethical dilemma for scientists and society. Be sure to include who are the research subjects, humans or animals and what the research focus is, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, nutrition/food additives, health and beauty aids, etc.
• The research question you will address in your essay
Guidelines:
1. Select one area of scientific research (pharmaceuticals, medical devices, therapies, surgical procedures, etc), which uses either human subjects or animal subjects. Identify this choice in the title of your essay.
• Example: Since my choice is research on drugs being tested on plants; the title of my essay will be: Regulating drug therapy research using plants: can it or should it be done?
2. Create a research question fully articulating what aspect you will explore. Do not just say “The ethics of research on humans” this is WAY too broad.
• Example: Are the current regulations governing plant pharmaceutical experiments enough to assure full compliance around the globe? OR: Are the aftercare regulations for plants that participate in drug research sufficient and consistent around the world?
3. Your topic must focus on the ethical dilemma involved. Nothing is just good or bad. There are multiple aspects to be considered. Give equal time and attention to BOTH sides.
• Example: The benefits from plant research are many, including medical discoveries that save countless lives, food production initiatives and products such as Biofuels. The research on plants has a negative consequence in the pain and suffering inflicted on these organisms. How do we balance these two aspects? How much and when should the individual’s suffering be overlooked for the common good? How much suffering is too much?
Your essay due will include the following points. Be sure to review these and be sure your topic choice is robust enough to provide detailed information on each of these aspects.
4. Identify and explain the complex ethical dilemmas faced by the scientists/researchers you have selected as they pursue this type of research. 5. Describe how the research impacts individuals, communities, and society across the globe. 6. Examine the possible solutions to these problems/issues that have been proposed and how or if they are working. 7. Construct a conclusion based on the facts and ideas you have uncovered in researching this topic and apply your own ideas to the solving this problem.
