Love and Spirituality in the Healing of Addictions
by Gerald G. May, M.D.

In this inspiring book Dr. May describes the processes of attachment that lead to addiction and examines the relationship between addiction and spiritual awareness. He also details the various addictions from which we can suffer - not only to substances like alcohol and drugs, but to work, sex, performance, responsibility, and intimacy.

Drawing on his experience as a psychiatrist working with the chemically dependent, May emphasizes that addiction represents an attempt to assert complete control over our lives. Addiction and Grace is a compassionate and wise treatment of this important topic, offering a critical yet hopeful guide to a place of freedom based on contemplative spirituality.
