Coherence Under Addiction: Why Willpower Fails and Structure Succeeds (The Coherence Series) - Tapa blanda

Coherence Under Addiction (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Most books about addiction focus on behavior. Some focus on chemistry. Others focus on morality. This book focuses on structure. Coherence Under Addiction presents a new model for understanding dependency: not as weakness, failure, or lack of discipline, but as an emergency architecture built by the nervous system when coherence becomes unsafe. Addiction, in this framework, is not the pursuit of pleasure. It is the substitution of chemistry for regulation, identity, boundaries, and emotional stability when those systems were never allowed to fully develop. It is what happens when the human system must choose relief over continuity in order to survive. Drawing on nervous-system dynamics, identity structure, emotional load theory, and relational regulation, Korvin Hale traces: - why willpower consistently collapses under pressure- how unresolved emotional load creates urgency- why shame strengthens addiction instead of curing it- how substances become artificial attachment systems- why many recovery models stabilize behavior but leave the architecture intact- and what must be built internally before freedom becomes sustainable This is not a motivational book. It is not a program. It is not a moral argument. It is a structural map of how addiction forms, what it stabilizes, why it resists change, and how coherence can be rebuilt without requiring self-destruction as the price of safety. For clinicians, recovery professionals, and those living inside addiction themselves, this book offers a language for what has long been felt but rarely named: Addiction is not chaos. It is order built under impossible conditions. And coherence is not control. It is the ability to remain whole while life moves through you. This item is printed on demand.
