| |  | | | Annotation
A courageous indictment of the destructive belief that all deviant behavior is a disease, this book offers alternatives to those suffering from additions, and to the professionals seeking to help them. In this plainspoken critique of America's whole approach to addiction, Peele attacks the "addiction as disease" model promoted by AA and NA drug treatment centers.
