5.0 out of 5 stars Anyone with an addiction should read this book, 7 Sep 2003

By	Ms N.S.Butler (Norwich, Norfolk United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Having worked in the substance misuse field for some years now, I find Corinne Sweets book invaluable. It makes the connection between unmet personal needs and addictions, giving clear, practical advice on how to deal with specific issues. Whether you are addicted yourself or are working with addicted clients, this book will help you to understand the underlying issues associated with addiction.
