Guest Speaker Last Week, February 1st - Tim Parker, PhD, Augustana Campus - UofA
Tim Parker joined us this past week and presented a more than interesting presentation on addictions. Tim is a Professor Emeritus of Psychology on the Augustana Campus at the University of Alberta.
Tim Parker has just retired after 37 years as a Professor of Psychology at the Augustana Faculty of the University of Alberta. His area was biological psychology and in the last decade he has researched addiction and the brain. Given the ways in which addiction has assailed our population, he has written a book for a general audience on addiction. It is titled Trapped by the High: What Addiction is and How it Changes the Brain.
His goal has been to translate the neuroscience into a narrative about addiction that readers can understand. His readers tell him that he has succeeded in this. Tim will has copies of his book for sale at a cost of $25.00
