Jim Orford

4.9/5 (16553 ratings)

Description:Review: Advance praise: 'This book brings together Jim Orford's vast knowledge of addiction research and theory and, using the unifying concept of power, it examines the multi-layered nature of how we are, at several levels, disempowered by our involvement with addictive consumptions. From the three case studies at the opening to his examples of communities reclaiming power at the end, his chapters move progressively from the individual, to families, to neighbourhoods and communities and onto the broader societal and industrial contexts that shape addictions in our lives. It is the first book on addiction I have read that thoroughly integrates so many important strands of thinking on this complex topic.' Peter J. Adams, Centre for Addiction Research, University of Auckland, and author of Fragmented Intimacy: Addiction in a Social World Advance praise: 'An important book with a powerful central message. Jim Orford masterfully weaves together wide-ranging and diverse fields of knowledge hitherto kept separate. The result is a fascinating exploration of the subtle but strong interconnections between addiction, powerless and power. Once again, Jim Orford breaks new ground.' Judith Harwin, Centre for Child and Youth Research, Brunel University Advance praise: 'This thought-provoking and beautifully written book delivers an important message for change on a broad canvas of integrated ideas: those most affected by addictions have been silenced and their voices need to be heard in the corridors of power.'
