Employing a complex dynamic systems approach and philosophical methodology, this book analyzes addiction as an irreducible neurobiological, psychological developmental, environmental, and sociological phenomenon. The analysis of addiction that is offered provides a way of understanding the systematic miscommunication that occurs between addicts and their friends and family, as well as offering hope for affecting successful transitions out of addictive patterns and into more valuable and meaningful lives.MetaphysicsPolitical sciencePhilosophySocial sciencesPhilosophyPhilosophy of mindEthicsMetaphysicsPolitical PhilosophySocial PhilosophyPhilosophy of MindMoral Philosophy and Applied EthicsMetaphysics.Political sciencePhilosophy.Social sciencesPhilosophy.Philosophy of mind.Ethics.Metaphysics.Political Philosophy.Social Philosophy.Philosophy of Mind.Moral Philosophy and Applied Ethics.616.86Shelby Cauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063767BOOK9910255351903321Addiction2534518UNINA
