Robin, though circumstances in childhood may predispose a person to promiscuity, we suspect many of these people are garden-variety narcissists. Addiction comes from a Latin word meaning “an awarding,” and often celebrities award themselves the right to do whatever they please. Rehab has many shady functions, like giving crisis management companies time to gather a focus group together and plot the best way to refurbish a star’s image. In the case of adultery, rehab allows people to circle the victim and say, “what about the children,” “what about your marital vows,” and “everyone makes mistakes.”
