Drugs and drug use are an integral part of human culture. Yet we
know hardly anything about drugs, at least not the kind of
knowledge that would help us to understand how drugs affect people
and how people beome addicted to drugs. This is most surprising in
the light of the vast amount of knowledge accumulated in the
sciences. Psychoanalysis might not be an obvious choice for the
treatment of addiction. Nevertheless, it is in an excellent
position to make a contribution to a problem that has so far defied
much of our understanding. By inviting people to speak about
themselves, psychoanalysis has established a unique way of
collecting clinical material, a material that surely must be
immediately relevant coming as it does from the horse's mouth. With
addiction on the increase, this fact alone justifies the necessity
for a different approach.Providing a theoretical foundation for the
argument that psychoanalysis should be seriously considered, and
where possible incorporated into the treament of addicts, this
thoughtful and innovative book can serve as an orientation in the
ongoing front-line battle with addicts and addiction.
