Addiction/Newleaf/Michael Hardiman _{The CommonSense Approach}

İkinci El

Many families are touched by addiction in some form. Few families know how to recognise it. Even fewer know how to deal with it when it affects them or someone close to them. Michael Hardiman brings us step by step along the route to addiction and towards overcoming it. He starts by explaining what addiction is, what causes it and what sustains it. He examines the different kinds: physical addiction, to substances such as nicotine, alcohol, prescription and illegal drugs; and psychological addiction, to such things as food, work, relationships, gambling, shopping etc. He also provides practical advice on recovery - how to overcome the addiction yourself, where to go for help and counselling, and courses available. The book includes directories of useful addresses and further reading. Other books by Michael Hardiman Healing Life's Hurts Ordinary Heroes.
