Lance M. Dodes, M.D.

Dr. Dodes,

I recently discovered your book, The Heart of Addiction, while doing research related to training I'm doing focused on treatment of sexual addiction. Since my original clinical training was psychodynamically oriented, I found your book a facinating breath of fresh air. I'd like to read more of your work. Can you please provide a list of the articles you've published in professional journals?

Thanks!

Dear Mr. Knowles-Bagwell,
Sorry for the delay in posting a response. "The Heart of Addiction" lists a number of my academic papers in the endnotes for chapters 11, 15 and 18. Here are the ones I consider most important:

Dodes LM. Addiction, Helplessness, and Narcissistic Rage. Psychoanalytic Quarterly 1990; 59:398-419.

Dodes LM. Compulsion and Addiction. Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association 1996; 44:815-835.

Dodes, LM. Addiction and Psychoanalysis. Canadian Journal of Psychoanalysis 2003; 11:123-134.

Dodes, LM.. Addiction as a Psychological Symptom. Psychodynamic Practice 2009; 15: 381-393.

My new book is scheduled to come out early in 2011 and I will post that information when I have a definite date.
Thanks for your inquiry.
Lance Dodes
