The Addictive Personality

Abstract: A 3 page paper discussing the book by Craig Nakken (Hazelden Foundation, 1996). The paper briefly discusses the compulsive personality and the addictive process, which is characterized by beginning as a dependency. That dependency turns into a crutch, and addiction follows if the crutch breaks. The individual often will assign blame for personal failure to his dependency, relieving himself of any personal responsibility. Bibliography lists 1 source.
