The most important writings on the psychoanalytic understandings
and treatments of drug and vice addiction Drug abuse, alcoholism,
compulsive gambling, and other destructive addictions plague our

factors related to the substance, the addict's personality, or to
the addict's environment. Arguments about effective treatment
programs are fierce. Essential Papers on Addiction presents the

psychoanalytic understanding and treatment of addiction. Daniel

introduces important psychoanalytic concepts used in understanding
addicts. The book includes case studies which illustrate the course
of addiction and presents the work of the most influential
theorists in the field. Divided into eight sections focusing on
historical work on addiction, psychoanalytic theories of addiction,
transference and countertransference issues in treating addiction,
psychoanalytic treatment for the addictions, psychoanalytic therapy
and disease concepts, and psychiatric illness and addiction, this
definitive volume includes contributions by the most experienced
and renowned experts on the subject. Contributors include S. Freud,
