Review: Advance praise: 'This book brings together Jim Orford's
vast knowledge of addiction research and theory and, using the
unifying concept of power, it examines the multi-layered nature of
how we are, at several levels, disempowered by our involvement with
addictive consumptions. From the three case studies at the opening
to his examples of communities reclaiming power at the end, his
chapters move progressively from the individual, to families, to
neighbourhoods and communities and onto the broader societal and
industrial contexts that shape addictions in our lives. It is the
first book on addiction I have read that thoroughly integrates so
many important strands of thinking on this complex topic.' Peter J.
Adams, Centre for Addiction Research, University of Auckland, and
author of Fragmented Intimacy: Addiction in a Social World Advance
praise: 'An important book with a powerful central message. Jim
Orford masterfully weaves together wide-ranging and diverse fields
of knowledge hitherto kept separate. The result is a fascinating
exploration of the subtle but strong interconnections between
addiction, powerless and power. Once again, Jim Orford breaks new
ground.' Judith Harwin, Centre for Child and Youth Research, Brunel
University Advance praise: 'This thought-provoking and beautifully
written book delivers an important message for change on a broad
canvas of integrated ideas: those most affected by addictions have
been silenced and their voices need to be heard in the corridors of
power.' Tim Stockwell, Director, Centre for Addictions Research of
British Columbia, University of Victoria
