	The current article highlights key issues in defining, studying, and treating\&nbsp;addiction, a concept related to but distinct from\&nbsp;substance use disorders. The discussion is based upon a roundtable discussion at the 2017 annual meeting of the\&nbsp;Research\&nbsp;Society on Alcoholism where Warren K. Bickel and John C. Crabbe were charged with answering a range of questions posed by Kenneth J. Sher. All the presenters highlighted a number of central concerns for those interested in assessing and treating\&nbsp;addiction\&nbsp;as well as those seeking to conduct basic preclinical\&nbsp;research\&nbsp;that is amenable to meaningful translation to the\&nbsp;human\&nbsp;condition. In addition, the discussion illustrated both the power and limitations of using any single theory to explain multiple phenomena subsumed under the rubric of\&nbsp;addiction. Among the major issues examined were the important differences between traditional diagnostic approaches and current concepts of\&nbsp;addiction, the difficulty of modeling key aspects of\&nbsp;human\&nbsp;addiction\&nbsp;in nonhuman\&nbsp;animals, key aspects of\&nbsp;addiction\&nbsp;that have, to date, received little empirical attention, and the importance of thinking of recovery as a phenomenon that possibly involves processes distinct from those undergirding the development and maintenance of\&nbsp;addiction.
