This podcast is a full-length (around 1 hour), live lecture from Dr. Michael Bozarth’s PSY451 course on Drug Addiction (State University of New York at Buffalo). It is provided as a pedagogic aid to enrolled students in that course and as a public service to others who may find the material useful. Please keep in mind that this lecture is supported by printed text, study guides, and slides that will not be available to the general public until after the book is published. (The anticipated publication date is spring 2013.) Also be advised that this first publically released lecture is three weeks into the academic course.
The download is large (length: 59.6min; file size: 54.6MB), so the presentation is probably best viewed as streaming audio from the podomatic.com website. Note that the online Podomatic player can be paused by pressing the Anpu (Egyptian god of the dead) logo usually found on the upper left-hand side of the screen. Feedback and “followers” on the Podomatic.com website are appreciated and encourage further public release of this ‘raw’ lecture material.
For anyone wishing to cite this material, the reference should be to M.A. Bozarth, PSY451 live lecture presentation (recorded 20 September 2012), or to Bozarth, M.A. Fundamentals of Drug Addiction: A Psychobiological Approach (anticipated publication spring 2013). Apologies for not being able to release the slides at this time, but the book needs to be formally published before the supporting materials are placed in public view. Please be advised that this presentation is generally unedited and hence subtitled “Bozarth raw and uncensored live at UB” not because of obscene content or language but because of its free-flowing, high-energy, informal presentation style designed to supplement the formal written material for this academic course. Warning: Do not listen to while driving or operating heavy machinery.
