Description
Addiction - This Being Human A New Perspective by Ronnie Aaronson is a compassionate and innovative exploration of addictive behaviour. It delves into the complexities of addiction, examining who may develop an addictive habit, what draws people to use substances, and how these substances serve the user. The author presents a clear narrative, drawing on theories from various orientations within psychotherapy, including body psychotherapy. She considers the role of shame and fear in addictive behaviour and offers insights into building a strong sense of self and self-soothing as essential for long-term abstinence. This book is particularly useful for professionals working with individuals presenting addictive behaviour, such as counsellors and psychotherapists. By incorporating bodywork and long-term counselling or psychotherapy into treatment, the recovery process can be completed. This book provides a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand and address addiction in their work.
