Addictive States of Mind

Discover a profound exploration of human behavior in Addictive States of Mind by Marion Bower, published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 2019. This insightful hardback spans 256 pages and delves into the concept of perversions, examining them not merely as specific behaviors but as intricate blueprints for object relations.

Bower presents a compelling argument that perversions often represent a quest for excitement through various means such as sex, drugs, or gambling. However, the core focus of this work is on the deeper psychological underpinnings—highlighting the underlying incapacity or, at times, a refusal to engage in healthier relational dynamics. This book is an essential read for those interested in psychology, addiction studies, and the complexities of human relationships.
