Aufbauend auf den Erkenntnissen der Pharmakologie, Psychoanalyse und Soziologie entwirft Andreas Bell eine philosophische Anthropologie der Sucht. Aus dem Wissen um die Tiefendimensionen, die allen Suchtformen zugrunde liegen, entwickelt er ethische Leitlinien und Handlungsempfehlungen fur Arzte und Therapeuten, die ihr Handeln vor sich selbst, ihren Patienten und der Gesellschaft rechtfertigen wollen. Kritische Blicke werden auch auf Politik und Selbsthilfe gerichtet. Sucht zu verstehen und Suchtige verantwortbar zu begleiten oder zu behandeln ist das Ziel dieses Buchs.
