Brooke and Rachel, great job on the article!

3 Strengths: -You guys really describe what an “addictive personality” is; the symptoms section is full of examples -You guys make a lot of connections to things we’ve discussed in class so it was very easy to read and follow your article - The link between addictive personalities and the biopsychosocial perspective is really developed and adds a lot of substance and information to your topic that makes it really interesting.

3 Areas for Improvement: -In the “Is there such a thing as an addictive personality?” section, you could maybe talk about addiction in relation to internal/external locus of control and field dependence/independence. It seems like that might fit in with the ideas of free will and whether or not an addicted person will make the effort to beat their addiction. - You guys mention who Dr. Fortuna is as in the article as evidence for your ideas. Personally, I do not know who she is so maybe give a sentence of background information so people know she is a reliable source. - It might be beneficial to add a real life example of someone with an addictive personality so that people can more easily understand the concept.
