Synopsis
Craig Nakken brings new depth and dimension to our understanding of how an individual becomes an addict.
Since its publication in 1988, The Addictive Personality has helped people understand the process of addiction.

Genetic factors tied to addiction;
Cultural influences on addictive behavior;
The progressive nature of the disease; and
Steps to a successful recovery.
