Building on a successful career as a practitioner and a disciplined scholar, Professor Steverson offers an insightful, comprehensive, and compelling exploration of one of our most pervasive and persistent challenges -- addiction in all of its manifestations.

This book successfully takes us well beyond a description of the enormous personal and societal costs of addiction by introducing helpful and hopeful possibilities for those of us who are earnestly seeking solutions.
