Understanding Addiction: A Critical Review of Gabor Maté’s In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts

Read and respond to Gabor Maté’s (2010) In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts. Write a 4–5-page paper addressing how the author views addiction and how it informs the way you might see clients who struggle with addiction, with a particular emphasis on a deeper understanding and appreciation for the complexities of addiction. Also, address the extent to which the author’s perspective fits within a biblical framework, or explicitly does not fit within that framework, questions the author left unanswered; and an overall critique of the book as a contribution to the literature on addiction (cheers, jeers, fears, etc.). Identify at least two individuals to which Maté refers in the book and apply the disease concept and etiology of addiction and co- occurring disorders to them, as well as identifying the impact of co-occurring substance use disorders on medical and psychological disorders. Note: See the accompanying rubric for further details on expectations for the Maté response paper.
