Addicted? - Recognizing Destructive Behaviors Before It''s Too Late

Informationen zum Autor Marilyn Freimuth is professor of Clinical Psychology at the Fielding Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California where she specializes in substance abuse diagnosis, addiction treatment and the theory-practice relationship. She also maintains a private practice. Klappentext Addicted? presents different ways to recognize the early and often subtle signs of addiction-much in the same way we learn to detect the early signs of cancer. But unlike cancer, where people rush to get treatment as soon as they recognize the signs, an addiction typically is faced with great guilt and ambivalence. Addicted? provides questionnaires that screen for a wide array of chemical and behavioral addictions at all stages of development and ends with a step-by-step guide for how to prepare oneself or someone else to overcome addiction.
