"Is there an addictive personality?
The phrase 'addictive personality' is used so commonly in our culture that few
of us question whether an addictive personality type really exists, yet many
doctors and psychiatrists believe that the term means nothing. Certainly, there
is little evidence for an addictive personality as such."
I am not familiar with the term addictive personality.
