Diseasing of America

How We Allowed Recovery Zealots and the Treatment Industry to Convince Us We Are Out of Control

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

There is absolutely no proven scientific evidence supporting the misconception that substance abuse and other addictions are genetically acquired diseases. Shocked? Diseasing of America is a powerful and controversial rebuttal to the "addiction as disease model" that many vested interests-including doctors, counselors, psychologists, treatment centers, and twelve-step programs that specialize in addiction treatment-don't want you to read.
