Description
In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts is a compassionate look at drug addiction. This insightful book explores the scientific and psychological causes of addiction, as well as the impact on addicts treated at the Downtown Eastside Vancouver clinic where Mate is a physician. He widens the lens to address the larger societal problem--speaking also to the risks of the more high status addictions, such as wealth, power, and sex. He boldly challenges the War on Drugs, proposing a more holistic, constructive set of alternatives.
