Millions of us suffer from addiction, including psychiatrist and
recovering alcoholic Carl Erik Fisher. But where does this
centuries-old behaviour come from and how should we treat it? As a
young doctor, Carl Erik Fisher came face to face with his own
addiction crisis, one that nearly cost him everything. Now, in The
Urge, he investigates the history of this condition; how we have
struggled to define, treat, and control it; and how broader
understanding and compassion could change people's lives. The Urge
is at once an eye-opening history of ideas, a riveting personal
story of addiction and recovery, and a clinician's urgent call for
a more expansive, nuanced view of one of society's most intractable
challenges.
