Message in a bottle1997

Drawing on his research in personality, Singer provides an innovative set of recommendations about treatment strategies and appropriate psychotherapy for those suffering from severe addictions. Their stories make clear the limitations of a disease model of addiction that fails to address the men's fundamental loss of identity and membership in sober society. Singer's heart-wrenching Message in a Bottle teaches us lessons about the addict's world, but the insights that emerge are a message for us all.
