Synopsis

There is no right way to characterize an addictive personality. Some researchers consider the concept of addictive personality controversial, as there are no personality traits that predict addiction. Other researchers argue that an addictive personality is created from the illness of addiction. It is a change resulting from the addictive process that takes place within a person. The signs of change, such as depression, irritability, and paranoia, emerge from the addictive process in the same way other long-term illnesses can change a person's personality. Students learn about the forms of psychological and physiological addiction and their consequences. The book provides steps for treatment and recovery, too.
