The Psychodynamics of Addiction
Weegmann, M
The Psychodynamics of Addiction - Whurr 2002
In the treatment of addictions and their psychological understanding, cognitive-behavioural and motivation approaches have been paramount. In contrast, the psychodynamic contribution has been muted. This book attempts to redress this imbalance by bringing together a team of senior clinicians with psychotherapeutic backgrounds as well as experience in addiction. Stress is placed on the diversity of psychodynamic understanding and its relevance to the everyday problems met by addicted individuals. The first theoretical part of the book is followed by examples from group and individual therapy.
