ISBN: 9780199588718 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 'The Globalization of Addiction' presents a radical rethink about the nature of addiction.
Scientific medicine has failed when it comes to addiction. There are no reliable methods to cure it, prevent it, or take the pain out of it. There is no durable consensus on what addiction is, what causes it, or what should be done about it. Meanwhile, it continues to increase around the world. This book argues that the cause of this failure to control addiction is that the conventional wisdom of the 19th and 20th centuries focused too single-mindedly on the afflicted individual addict. Although... 'The Globalization of Addiction' presents a radical rethink about the nature of addiction.
