520 1 $a"Addiction focuses on the emergence, nature, and
persistence of addictive behaviors, as well as the efforts
of addicts to overcome their condition. Do addicts act of
their own free will, or are they driven by forces beyond
their control? Do structured treatment programs offer more
hope for recovery? What causes relapses to occur? Recent
scholarship has focused attention on the voluntary aspects
of addiction, particularly the role played by choice.
Addiction draws upon this new research and the
investigations of economists, psychiatrists, philosophers,
neuropharmachologists, historians, and sociologists to offer
important new insights into the sad puzzle of addictive
behavior."--BOOK JACKET.
