Book Description:
|
This book proposes that some people may actually be 'addicted' in an unhealthy manner to specific emotions. Ladd contends that emotional addiction operates under similar criteria to a physical addiction, with both forms of addiction showing characteristics of denial, compulsive behavior, dependency, tolerance, addictive thinking, and withdrawal symptoms.
