Addicts in Wonderland by John Shelton,Ron LaJeunesse Pdf

Addicts in Wonderland is a true story about cocaine addiction. It is framed around the classic tale Alice in Wonderland, with one significant difference. The people and events are real; there is no fiction. The story also fits no stereotype about addiction or addicts. The reader will be shaken by the addictive supremacy of cocaine and helped to understand the destructiveness of fear, the addictive personality, the draw of life on the street, modern treatment strategies, why traditional God concepts fail so many and the power behind words and intention. The account details how one mans struggle has led to strategies that can modernize and enhance the way in which the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) 12 Step philosophy is used in the addiction recovery world. While the 12 Steps are based on some solid principles, for many they are not enough. Recovery gets stale or progress is hindered and the participants remain crippled by financial, relationship, emotional and spiritual issues - in spite of lengthy sobriety. This reality has guided the development of a new set of quantum thought concepts, built on centuries old eastern philosophy and decades old western theory. In other words, new thinking from old wisdom. With very specific detail, the book explains these quantum concepts, describes how they can be applied to the 12 Steps and then demonstrates how Twelve Steppers have enriched their recovery experience by becoming Next Steppers, allowing them to move well beyond recovery to a new world of discovery. Quantum thought: A term derived from quantum physics where the universe is defined as a field where all parts have a relationship with other parts. This means that we can change a part by redefining our relationship with it. In other words, if something can be imagined in a quantum universe it can be real. Thoughts become things.

The Self Psychology of Addiction and its Treatment by Richard B. Ulman,Harry Paul Pdf

In the time of Freud, the typical psychoanalytic patient was afflicted with neurotic disorders; however, the modern-day psychotherapy patient often suffers instead from a variety of addictive disorders. As the treatment of neurotic disorders based on unconscious conflicts cannot be applied to treatment of addictive disorders, psychoanalysis has been unable to keep pace with the changes in the type of patient seeking help. To address the shift and respond to contemporary patients’ needs, Ulman and Paul present a thorough discussion of addiction that studies and analyzes treatment options. Their honest and unique work provides new ideas that will help gain access to the fantasy worlds of addicted patients. The Self Psychology of Addiction and Its Treatment emphasizes clinical approaches in the treatment of challenging narcissistic patients struggling with the five major forms of addiction. Ulman and Paul focus on six specific case studies that are illustrative of the five forms of addiction. They use the representative subjects to develop a self psychological model that helps to answer the pertinent questions regarding the origins and pathway of addiction. This comprehensive book links addiction and trauma in an original manner that creates a greater understanding of addiction and its foundations than any clinical or theoretical model to date.

Drug Dependence and Alcoholism by Arnold J. Schecter Pdf

Determination and treatment of the unique needs of each addicted individual is a prerequisite to rehabilitation. General descriptions of large subgroups of the addicted population may only serve to iden tify issues pertinent to treatment and global treatment needs. How ever, specification of services needed is a first step in incorpora ting these in treatment. Clearly, women in treatment need many ser vices which, currently, are not typically available and may be criti cal for successful treatment of many of these women. REFERENCES Anderson, M. 1977.

50/50 by Ronald A. LaJeunesse Pdf

Half of all North American marriages don’t work and other forms of partnership don’t do any better. These relationships are sometimes described as “trial” or “practice” unions, but practice generally improves results, so why do sixty-eight percent of second and then seventy-three percent of third marriages fail? It doesn’t have to be like that. What one might have done or still can do to make or save a relationship are detailed in sixty-eight “partnership practices.” These practices come from understanding the influences of sex, destiny, heredity, personality, geography, culture, children, money, aging, addiction, lifestyle, illness, religion, law, gender, infidelity, energy and sexual orientation. The book also details where to find a great partner, the usefulness of marriage today, the power of consciousness and communication, a way to judge when love is authentic and the costs and consequences of divorce. Whether entering a new relationship, working on one, considering leaving one, wondering why one didn’t work, pondering why one did work, or just wanting to help a friend or relative, this practical and insightful look at relationships will help you see why things are as they are. Along with those insights, you will discover what might be done to change any condition; specific action derived from new knowledge about the “best practices” in successful partnerships.

Wonderland Avenue by Danny Sugerman Pdf

At the age of thirteen, Danny Sugerman- the already wayward product of Beverley Hills wealth and privilege- went to his first Doors concert. He never looked back. He became Jim Morrison's protégé and- still in his teens- manager of the Doors and then Iggy Pop. He also plunged gleefully into the glamorous underworld of the rock 'n' roll scene, diving headfirst into booze, sex and drugs: every conceivable kind of drug, ever day, in every possible permutation. By the age of twenty-one he had an idyllic home, a beautiful girlfriend, the best car in the world, two kinds of hepatitis, a diseased heart, a $500 a day heroin habit and only a week to live. He lived. This is his tale. Excessive, scandalous, comic, cautionary and horrifying, it chronicles the 60s dream gone to rot and the early life of a Hollywood Wild Child who was just brilliant at being bad.
