Nine chapters by multidisciplinary contributors from the US and Oslo, Norway offer insights into the controversies over whether addicts have control over their behavior, the extent to which treatment programs offer hope for recovery, and what causes relapses. The cultural values that infuse such issues, the neurobiology of addiction, and recent theories on the role of choice are major themes. Based on presentations at a Russell Sage Foundation conference in June 1997. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
