THE Addiction Concept Walters Book Professional Development Addictions

While admitting to an addiction has long been touted as the first step to recovery, those who are struggling with compulsive behaviour, admitting to an addiction is admitting to defeat and failure, and succumbing to a permanent label from which they are never truly freed -- "once an addict, always an addict." This book: explores the addiction concept, and how replacing it with alternative avenues of therapy can mean the difference between enervation and empowerment for many individuals; explores the logical, empirical, and practical limitations of the addiction concept, its primary elements, and the models to which it has given birth; and provides an appraisal of the addiction concept, and presents viable avenues of therapeutic intervention.
