Damaged support leads to wounded aloneness. Addiction tries to heal the wound or call attention to this wound. Wounded aloneness will be traced through cases involving alcohol, drugs or medication.

Faith, or its lack, plays an important role in the patient and therapist managing to get through session and letting something more happen.
