• Explores the causes, and consequences, of all forms of addiction in children and young people
• Supplies case histories and proven techniques to manage dependencies on all addictions including illicit substances, food, electronic gadgetry, entertainment media and unhealthy sexual practices
• An invaluable resource for parents, teachers and health professionals who work with children and adolescents

Addiction is one of the most critical problems of our modern world, 
affecting children as much as adults. We face not only a widespread 
dependency on illicit substances, but also addictions to food, 
beverages, cigarettes and alcohol, as well as electronic gadgetry, 
online social networks, and entertainment media within a culture 
of violence, along with excessive and unhealthy sexual practices. 

This book explores the overall health consequences of addictive 
behaviour in children and young people, as well as its underlying 
causes. Drawing on anthroposophical insights, the author sees the 
child holistically as body, soul and spirit on a developmental journey 
from newborn to adult. He examines specific addictions through 
case histories taken from his clinical practice, and offers a tried 
and tested method to understand and manage each individual 
child or young person who succumbs to such dependencies. 

This book will be of value to parents, teachers and health professionals 
who work with children and adolescents; to young people and adults 
caught up in unhealthy addictive behaviour; and to all those who wish 
to understand better their own human nature.
