In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts
Close Encounters with Addiction
Book • 2007
In this book, Dr. Gabor Maté presents a comprehensive and compassionate look at addiction.
He argues that addiction is not a moral failure or a genetic disease but rather a result of human development gone awry, often due to childhood trauma.
The book includes first-person accounts, case studies, and scientific research to illustrate how addictive behaviors are attempts to self-soothe deep-seated fears and discomforts.
