Informational but Dry
I am a grad student studying addictions and this book is one we follow. This author is very informed about how systems go into place around addictions and how systems cope. My only problem is that the book is very almost scientific in its composure-I hope the author can have fun writing his very well researched books.

Very Basic
This book is overall very basic. If you have a basic understanding of psychology it won't be anything new.

Ordered Addictive Behaviors from the "used books", November 27, 2009
I was very please with this book, it's condition and the time frame in which I received it. I used a new person or "Lightly Used Books". At first I complained that the service was too slow but it wasn't. The next time I need a book in a hurry, I'll pay to have it sent overnight!
I would recommend this service to anyone...
The book is great for the beginner into the advanced.

Dismisses AA too easily and analysis weak throughout, August 24, 2008
This book is informative and well written. However, its bias against AA as a philosophy of addiction and as a treatment modality seriously mars the credibility of the author's presentation of facts, analysis and conclusions. I have read several books in the area of addiction recently, all by academics or scholars, and all slight AA. I think it is ivory tower elitism at its worst and most damaging. There is also the citing of studies whose reliability and validity are questionable. Like scholarship in so many areas these days, especially in the science arena, assertions are made and studies are cited helter-skelter to lend what is often dubious credibility to the author's own opinions. One specific and important disagreement with the author: addiction can be considered both a question of morality and a disease. They are not mutually exclusive.
