Handbook for Assessing and Treating Addictive Disorders

By: John Levitt,Douglas Ruben,Chris E. Stout Ph.D.

This comprehensive reference offers a fresh, integrative perspective on the assessment and treatment of addictive disorders. The work is organized into five sections, which treat theories of addiction, the diagnosis and evaluation of addictive behavior, treatment approaches, addiction among special populations, and clinical and legal issues concerning substance abuse professionals. The broad scope of the handbook encompasses alcoholism, drug addiction, eating disorders, and smoking. Theory is consistently used to illuminate practice, resulting in a valuable overview of the field. Within each section, essays by contributors discuss the most important issues and developments in the diagnosis and treatment of addiction. The opening essays establish a solid theoretical foundation by outlining behavioral, familial, and psychoanalytical explanations for the origins of addictive behavior. The later essays build on that base by overviewing diagnostic and treatment issues concerning addiction among Native Americans, the elderly, victims of traumatic brain injury, adult children of alcoholics, and teenagers. Useful appendixes list additional sources of information and describe certification for substance abuse professionals in each state. Psychologists, psychiatrists, and substance abuse counselors will find this handbook a necessary addition to their professional libraries.

The New Humanitarians

Inspiration, Innovations, and Blueprints for Visionaries [3 volumes]

By: Chris E. Stout Ph.D.

From Braille Without Borders and Unite for Sight, to Geekcorps and PeaceWorks, humanitarian groups are working worldwide largely in undeveloped countries to better the lives of the residents. Whether they are empowering people with schools for the blind, prosthetic limbs, the devices to understand and use technology, or the information to work for civil peace, the men and women of these agencies offer tremendous talent to their causes, great dedication and, sometimes, even risk their lives to complete their missions. Working in war or civil war zones, humanitarians with nonprofits, non-governmental agencies, and university-connected centers and foundations have been injured, kidnapped, or killed. Now terrorist events and war crimes are more and more often bringing these self-sacrificing workers into the national spotlight by media headlines. Their work is, doubtless, remarkable. And so too are the stories of how they developed - including the defining moments when their founders felt they could no longer stand by and do nothing. In this set of books, founders and top officials from humanitarian organizations established in the last 50 years spotlight how and why they began their organizations, what their greatest victories and challenges have been, and how they run the organizations, down to where they get their funding and how they spend it to grow the group and its efforts. Led by Chris E. Stout, named Humanitarian of the Year by the American Psychological Association, the contributors here come from across training disciplines including psychology, medicine, technology, science, politics, social work, and business. Stout, who has worked in Latin American terrorist zones, in Vietnam, and along the Amazon in Ecuador with Flying Doctors of America, has chosen to feature a sample of humanitarian groups across four primary areas - medicine, environment, education, and social justice. He also concentrates on what he calls guerilla humanitarians - those who step into unsafe or unhealthy conditions despite the dangers. There is also a concentration on those that have been very successful with on-the-ground-guerilla-innovations without a lot of bureaucracy or baloney. Above all, They are rebels with a cause whose actions speak louder than mere words, Stout explains. They have all felt a moral duty to serve as vectors of change. In addition to being psychologically insightful, these volumes hold invaluable practical information.

Meaningful Productivity

A 12 Month Guide and Tools to Help You Do More That Matters

By: Chris E. Stout

There are lots of planners, systems, seminars, and books to help achieve goals, get organized, and plan. But MEANINGFUL PRODUCTIVITY is the first comprehensive approach for one's LIFE – not just work or home. It is based on an integrative philosophy of living that has evolved and been acid-tested in the real world by its originator. It is designed to be specifically tailored to your needs, goals, and ambitions. MEANINGFUL PRODUCTIVITY is designed to be simple and unencumbered. It is basically a hybrid of a scheduling system/planner with a to-do list. Its simplicity is its power. It is my goal to get MEANINGFUL PRODUCTIVITY out to the masses, via Amazon so it is as affordable as it is easy to use. I am not too concerned with my copyright, other than you recognize my authorship and perhaps may wish to use my consultative services or purchase other materials, via DrChrisStout.com. My focus is on life significance. This significance is defined via achievement with satisfaction. Significance wins out over success. Meaning and individualized importance are drivers. Sure, sometimes these result in outward reward of status, celebrity, or wealth, but these are side-effects, not ends. This philosophy is best stated in one of my mottos: “Do important things.” I feel the accomplished life is ongoing, not an endpoint. Accomplishment should occur across the life span. Life thus needs a design. Certainly randomness has its place, and entropy can make for an enjoyable calamity, but a life left to be “designed” by chance is too much at risk of being wasted. Some choose to simplify their lives. And this has become quite popular as of late. I support this philosophy with clarification: to simplify is to be unencumbered from the unnecessary, not to sacrifice needs and self-defined reasonable wants. It is my philosophy to support high-achievement over over-achievement. Over-achievers tend to be more driven by obtaining external trappings resultant from achievement rather than inherent drive by the work itself. These are the individuals who risk burn out they are those who feel heavy work involvement is expected by a superior (not the result of an “internal” motivation); or feel a need to perform for others; or feel pride in external/material attainment over intrinsic satisfaction in the work itself; and then they reach a point in mid- to late-career that results in the “is this all there is?” phenomenon.

BrainPower

Tools and Tips for Mental Sharpness, Improved Memory, and a Better Life?No Matter How Old You Are

By: Chris E. Stout

“As we live longer, our biggest concern will be the health of our minds. We can always use a wheelchair, but life's not much use if you don't know where to wheel yourself. BrainPower provides provocative insights and action steps to keep us firing on all cylinders.” Dr. Mehmet Oz, MD, MBA, FACS“BrainPower is a truly remarkable, must needed effort,(this book is) a formidable weapon against cognitive/memory affecting scourges like Alzheimer's Disease or other dementias, as well as disorders resulting in severe learning difficulties in our children.” Dr. Ronald F. Levant, EdD, ABPP, MBABrainPower is…“An engaging, scientifically based, yet highly practical approach describing what we can do for ourselves and our loved ones, as our Nation's population steadily matures. Oftentimes confusing medical jargon is straightforwardly explained with useful and understandable advice proffered. Suggestions for daily exercises and dietary modifications are especially helpful.” Dr. Patrick DeLeon, PhD, JD, MBA“BrainPower pulls together all the very latest advances in the science of keeping well, integrating knowledge from a huge range of disciplines and resources, the authors provide the best possible basis for improving our sense of well-being at whatever age. In particular, its innovative approach to memory and the mind makes it highly relevant for aging baby boomers looking to keep their cognitive edge.” Dr. Margaret Hannah, MB, M-chir, FFPHMThe International Longevity Center states that even without new scientific breakthroughs people in industrialized countries could increase their lifespan ?at least 10-years? by eating less and exercising more: ?Half the [U.S.] population is overweight, 20% are obese, and only 15% of people over the age of 65 regularly exercise. Our diets are overwhelmingly conducive to the development of heart disease, and far too many of us still use tobacco products.? Staying mentally, physically and emotionally fit is the key to having ?BrainPower.?It is not that research does not exist, or even that techniques, medications, and clinical approaches are missing for Alzheimer?s disease and other dementias or memory problems. What has been missing, however, is a resource where peer-reviewed studies from various professions are summarized in a readable, accessible, understandable, and actionable single source?that is until this book.Evidence-based practice and practice-based evidence have been brought together in these volumes in such a way as to provide readers with a strong basis for understanding the complex and often confounding world of intellectual decline, confusion, loss of focus, concentration and memory impairments, debilitating problems that are often attached to dreaded diagnoses like Alzheimer?s Disease, Autistic Spectrum Disorders and Dyslexia.
