The chemistry and psychology of addiction are described with considerable insight.

Their ideas are vibrant, provocative, stimulating, and written for a public that is demanding a better explanation. - Howard J. Shaffer, director, Center for Addiction Studies, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School and The Cambridge Hospital Addictive behavior goes far beyond the compulsive use of drugs and alcohol. It is possible to become addicted to what may seem a harmless pleasure such as sex, jogging, watching television, or eating. In this powerful book - written in easy-to-understand language - two scientific researchers, Harvey Milkman and Stanley Sunderwirth, explain the biology, chemistry, and psychology of the universal desire for pleasure and escape. For example, they reveal how the brain produces mind-altering substances and what the skydiver has in common with the heroin addict. But, most importantly, with the use of a self-assessment test and an invaluable guide for treatment, the authors show what steps you can take to regain control of your life.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50924745294097,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50924745523473,"sku":"GOR004668890","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0787941328.gif?v=1751446679"},{"product_id":"pathways-to-self-discovery-and-change-a-guide-for-responsible-living-book-harvey-b-milkman-9781452217895","title":"Pathways to Self-Discovery and Change: A Guide for Responsible Living","description":"Using comic strip illustrations and stories, this title helps clients engage in active discussion about the situations, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that have become embroidered in their patterns of substance abuse and criminal conduct.
