4.0 out of 5 stars
Master's Student
This book is very useful for those looking outside of traditional addiction theories. It shows that the theories that have been previously presented are limited and not as comprehensive as it they need to be. Excellent book for an addictions class or a review of recent theories.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Self-promotional and off-balance
This is a largely self-promotional work. The author has made a living for years holding himself out as an expert on addiction. Unfortunately, to do this, he has to claim to have something new and different to offer the addicted. This is how one sells books. To this end, he denigrates the 12-step approach which has helped literally millions of alcoholics and addicts of all...

This review is from: The Meaning of Addiction: An Unconventional View (Paperback)
This is a largely self-promotional work. The author has made a living for years holding himself out as an expert on addiction. Unfortunately, to do this, he has to claim to have something new and different to offer the addicted. This is how one sells books. To this end, he denigrates the 12-step approach which has helped literally millions of alcoholics and addicts of all types. This book is an overview of hand-picked addictions research. It is not a book for those that actually have an addiction and will not be helpful to those that have, except as a way to bolster one's denial and put off effective treatment.
