About the author

Gabor Mate

A Hungarian-born physician who spent years as a family doctor in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, treating people whose addictions were severe enough that most services had already given up on them. In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts came out of that work, and its argument is that the useful question is never why the addiction but why the pain.
