Description: In the flood of books and papers about alcoholism published since the 1960s, no one has successfully explained the origin of alcoholic or addictive behavior. By applying modern psychological and scientific theory emerging from quantum mechanics, Jim Hewitt tackles concepts such as individuality, symbolism, capitalism, life-death equivalents, Enlightenment theories, humanism, rationality vs. intuitiveness, nature vs. nurture, connection vs. separation, and - as the title promises - alcoholism.
