Maté talks about how trauma experiences as a child or a bad human relationship when childhood can make an individual a future drug addict

His theory is that if you do not get warmth, love and love when you are young, they are more likely to become material addicts.

Because external variables can affect the family atmosphere (economic pressure, political turmoil, problems of human relations), families who nurture children and take care will still find important addicts in the family It is also considered to have a tendency.

For example, a mate contains scientific statistics of young rats that have not been driven from their mothers, resulting in fewer natural benzo receptors in the brain that control human anxiety. He states that endorphins are released into the brain if there is no calm interaction with warmth, stress and character undergoing child rearing. It leads to more addictive

"But in addition to love, parents, in addition to love will do their best to provide a safe home for their children, and will also see these family dependence here The invisible factors are the pressures of their parents' own lives, at which point the pressure may come from human relations problems or from external environments such as economic pressures and political turmoil (Maté, 289)

Dr. GaborMaté, a Canadian physician born in Hungary, specializes in research and treatment of intoxication and trauma. He is known for his firm belief in the relationship between physical health and mental health. Dr. Maté's bestseller includes an award-winning "Hunger Ghost".

The companion also uses the personal anecdote of the person he encountered in the substance abuse issue. The mixture of scientific statistics and personal anecdotes confirms his argument and allows the reader to agree to what he said. With "Accepted by Needle", Mate explains how to add addiction and how to eventually take over someone's life. Mr. Gabor said, "Without drugs, it is itself addictive." This means that it is not a drug that causes poisoning. If people have grown up in an abusive family and have never experienced "a warm and soft embrace" (305), it turns into drug use as it makes them feel.
