THE HEART OF ADDICTION

Book ID/图书代码： 07042004B06182

English Summary/英文概要： THE HEART OF ADDICTION offers a new way to think about and control addictive behaviour. Dodes rejects pat explanations of alcoholism as a disease and instead explores the underlying emotions that drive addictive behaviours. In his practice and research, Dodes has found that virtually every addictive act is preceded by a feeling of helplessness or powerlessness. The addictive behaviour--be it drinking, gambling, or obsessive sex--serves to repair this feeling. The paradox is that the out of control behaviour actually gives the addict a sense of being empowered or in control - but that the addiction is a substitute for some other, more useful response. With compassion and deep understanding, Dodes provides readers with the keys to mastering their addiction by helping them uncover: why they feel the impulse, why they feel it when they do, and what they can do to address the emotional needs in another way.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在此之前，没人知道为什么一旦上瘾，就会反复发作，但是这只是在以前。 20多年来，杰出的精神病学家Lance Dodes博士一直在用一种比较激进的方法帮助病人克服各种上瘾的症状，如酗酒、强迫性赌博、吸烟、性上瘾等等。Dodes博士详述了上瘾症状实质上潜藏着足以揭开迷团的各种尚未被认识到的情感因素：为什么我们会有这种冲动、为什么就会感觉到它，在这样的关键时刻，有别的什么其它办法可以想吗？ 在这本令人耳目一新的书中，作者例举了大量案例分析，并向我们纠正了几个一直以来都被大家广泛接受的错误观点：从本质上讲，上瘾是身体上的问题，有上瘾毛病的人和正常人不一样，你只有置之死地才能后生，如果你要问为什么你会有瘾，而别人却不会的话，那你是在浪费时间。
