In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Gabor Maté

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Gabor Maté

Gabor Maté spent twelve years as a physician in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, and his central question is not why the addiction but why the pain — because in his experience every severe addict he treated had a childhood that would explain it.

He moves between his patients' stories, the neuroscience of the dopamine and opioid systems, the developmental research on early stress, and his own compulsive behaviour around buying classical CDs, which he refuses to treat as a different category. His conclusion is that the war on drugs is a war on people already in pain.

One of the most influential books written on addiction, and the foundation of Maté's later work.
