The Meaning of Addiction by Stanton Peele (Paperback - Reprint)
The conventional idea that a substance or activity can produce a compulsion to act that is beyond the individual's self-control has dominated theory and treatment of addiction for dozens of years now. In this brilliant and original book, however, the author analyzes studies of drug and cigarette addiction, alcoholism, obesity, and other compulsions -- from running to love -- and demonstrates how doctrinaire politically correct-disease theories of addiction fail to make sense of scientific observations. Addiction, StantonPeele argues, while real, is not a biological phenomenon. Addictive behavior, like all human behavior, is best understood as adaptation -- individual, situational, and cultural variations are the rule. And the surprising frequency of self-cure is part of the amazing evidence that compulsive habits and dependency are a way of coping which individuals are able to reverse in line with changing psychological and life circumstances.

The Addiction Concept by Glenn D. Walters (Paperback - Allyn & Bacon)
Admitting to an addiction has long been touted as the first step to recovery. But for those who are actually struggling with compulsive behavior, admitting to an addiction is admitting in part to defeat and failure, and succumbing to a permanent label from which they are never truly freed -- "once an addict, always an addict." This book explores the addiction concept, and how, in some instances, replacing it with alternative avenues of therapy can mean the difference between enervation and empowerment for many individuals. This book explores the logical, empirical, and practical limitations of the addiction concept, its primary elements, and the models to which it has given birth. It provides readers with an objective appraisal of the addiction concept, presents an alternative capable of explaining addictive behavior and offers viable avenues of therapeutic intervention. Psychologists, addiction counselors, substance abuse counselors, and behavioral therapists.
