Addictions: Issues \u0026amp; Answers presents a comprehensive and unflinching examination of the nature of addiction, chronicling the psychological, biological, and social forces that bind individuals to substances and behaviours. Written by three leading authorities in the field — Jerome Jaffe, Robert Petersen, and Ray Hodgson — the book addresses the full spectrum of addictive disorders, from alcohol and drugs to behavioural compulsions, offering clear, evidence-based insights accessible to both general readers and healthcare professionals alike. The tone is measured yet urgent, grounding complex clinical concepts in the lived realities of those affected by addiction.\n\nFar more than a clinical manual, this work argues that addiction is a societal issue as much as a personal one, situating individual struggle within broader cultural and public health contexts. Jaffe, Petersen, and Hodgson draw on decades of research to dismantle common myths, present practical frameworks for understanding dependency, and detail the treatment options available to those seeking recovery. Part of the Life Cycle Book series, this volume stands as an authoritative reference for anyone seeking to understand one of the most pressing health challenges of the modern age — leaving the reader to wonder: how much of what we call choice is truly free?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203203703003,"sku":"2026200015324-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/788ae872-65d8-4358-ba6b-9306412fd57d.png?v=1788145615","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015324-secondhand-addictions-issues-answers","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
