Alcohol addiction, combined with the legality of drinking, makes it difficult for patients to be motivated to treat. This paper introduces the author's findings and ingenuity, focusing on "motivation for patient treatment". First, we consider "why people become addicted" from the perspective of cognitive psychology, and describe typical medical examination scenes in clinical practice. Regarding the motivation of the main subject, we explain that it is important for the patient to thoroughly understand addiction, and that the aim of treatment is to "increase the patient's willpower to stop drinking" and to "not increase their willingness to drink", and why it is important to think about these two factors separately. Finally, we discuss "the essence of harm reduction in alcoholism".
