Rezensionen

"Szabo and Demetrovics have written a very clever book that clears up some conceptual ambiguities and methodological weaknesses in exercise addiction research. Passion and Addiction in Sports and Exercise is compulsory reading for anyone interested in the subject, whether as a researcher, coach or athlete."
