In this conversation, we explore: — The extent to which addiction can be viewed as an attachment disorder — The central paradox at the heart of addiction — Why addiction is a “jealous relationship” that crowds out most others — Why addictions localised within individual members can be thought of as “symptoms” of much wider societal problems.
