Review Quote	In rich and arresting prose, and with radical originality, Dakwar expands initial, pragmatic insights about addiction into a far-reaching examination of authenticity, exploring how we define a happy life, a good life, a valid life
Other text	A psychiatrist’s fascinating quest to understand drugs and addiction – and to describe the indescribable… I was drawn to Dakwar’s vivid stories of patients and their different histories of drug use… The Captive Imagination is rich in words… [Dakwar] writes lucidly of brain-based models of addiction, while making it clear that they cannot fully explain people’s experiences
