Refutes conventional attitudes toward addiction and recovery and presents a program of behavioral changes for personal recovery
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From the authors of Love and Addiction ( LJ 4/1/75) comes another thought-provoking and insightful look at the nature of addiction. In contrast to popular thinking, Peele and Brodsky view addiction as a problem rather than a disease. In lieu of 12-step treatment programs, they advocate "the life process program," which focuses on developing personal skills to moderate behavior as opposed to merely accepting addiction as an incurable disease. A minor criticism is that they build such a strong case against the disease theory that there is a tendency to forget they are not disputing the existence of addiction. However, Chapter Ten in Part 2 helps to reinforce the authors' acceptance of the reality and seriousness of addiction. Essential for all dependency and recovery collections. Highly recommended.
