Title:

POSSESSION AND DESIRE PT. 1: A deconstructivist approach to understanding and working with addictions |
|
Synopsis:
|
I used to feel insecure about working with addiction. Too much had been written about it (2). There were too many kinds. I knew something (though not enough) of my own addictive patterns, and something (often too much) of those of my family, friends, colleagues and clients, yet little to link them had emerged. I was in a tangle - exactly the sort of metaphor that my addictive clients came up with to describe themselves. (Figure 1)
The last couple of years of research has helped me exorcise my addictive ghosts. This 3-part paper is not about particular addictions, but about deconstructing the addictive process. By 'deconstructing' I don't mean literary analysis of the meaning of words (though that will be touched on in Part II), but separating out mental confusion. My Uncle Albert had a reputation for fixing things - steam irons, vacuum cleaners, that kind of thing. He confided in me that it was no great skill. He simply took things apart and remembered where the screws went. This paper is more or less about that. |
