About Addictions provides a perspective for clear thinking about what to do, rather than how to feel about addictions and addiction spectrum disorders. About Addictions provides the reader with data from Psychology, Neuroscience and Neuro-Linguistic Programming that will allow clear thought about the nature of these problems and what can be done. This is a book to think with. It is short on doctrine and long on practical information about the nature of addiction spectrum disorders and the structure of motivations for change. Here you will find information about diagnosis, studies that say something very important about 'addictive substances' and research in neuroscience, motivation, and preference hierarchies. Techniques and perspectives from Neuro-Linguistic Programming provide some novel approaches to treating these problems.
