Product Information
Only now is science catching up with clinicians and sober/abstinent addicts to explain how addiction, abuse, and recovery work. Erickson's seminal guide allies the science to practice: clinicians and scientists alike should read it in order to start a new dialogue of wisdom with each other and increase recovery exponentially.--Deirdre Boyd, editor of "AddictionToday" and CEO of Addiction Recovery Foundation
