About the Authors.
In this comprehensive yet easily read paperback volume, Dr. Peter Martin and colleagues distill the essential scientific theories of addiction psychiatry with the 70+ year old spiritual recovery movement. Their book answers questions about compulsive alcohol, drug, sex, gambling and food problems for addicts, their loved ones, and the counselors, ministers, physicians and psychiatrists who are trying to understand and change behaviors. The result is an up-to-date treatment manual for addiction disorders. It will be a valuable guide for sufferers and a useful resource for all professionals who wish to help!By Reid Finlayson
This is the most comprehensive work on addiction and treatment modalities I have found. The authors are able to define the disease concept, multi-modality treatment, and the impact on society, without the "feel" of a textbook. Peter Martin's brilliance is made evident in this work. I am glad he decided to share his knowledge and insight in this manner. This book is a tool that should be required reading for anyone in the field of addiction treatment.By Steven Adams
