In his book, IN THE REALM OF HUNGRY GHOSTS, Dr. Gabor Mate makes the case that addiction is not confined to society’s outcasts – or, for that matter, even to ‘substance abusers’. He addresses the spectrum of addictions including
shopping, work, food, nicotine, the Internet, cosmetic surgery, even exercise.
In this course, participants will challenge the contemporary perspective of ‘War on Drugs’ by exploring the scientific and psychological causes of addiction as well as the impact on addicts and hopefully will arrive at a more holistic, compassionate and constructive understanding of addiction and for those whose lives are affected by it.
This C1 English reading and discussion course is for those interested in understanding this ‘language’ of addiction according to Gabor Mate and expressing their own opinions and thoughts.
Required reading is, IN THE REALM OF HUNGRY GHOSTS.
