Intensive Outpatient Treatment for the Addictions

By: Edward Gottheil

Intensive Outpatient Treatment for the Addictions provides descriptions, discussions, and the first outcome evaluations of the new intensive outpatient treatment modality. Giving you a general history and discussion of key principles; detailed descriptions of program procedures and follow-up data; a study of the characteristics of outcomes of early dropouts; and a comparison between intensive outpatient programs and traditional programs, this book will help government, HMO, and other substance abuse treatment planners and managers in designing the structure and services within their treatment delivery systems. Based on clinical observations and reports, intensive outpatient treatment approaches have quickly become common, even preferred, practice. This speedy acceptance occurred, however, without accompanying research evaluation and support. Intensive Outpatient Treatment for the Addictions provides the evaluation of results and the descriptions of principles and procedures you need to understand and conduct intensive outpatient treatment. Inside this resource you?ll find: a randomized controlled comparison of intensive outpatient treatment and individual counseling a comparison of the outcome of six intensive outpatient treatment and ten traditional programs an assessment of readiness for change stage in relation to improvement as measured by the Addiction Severity Index treatment evaluation methodology outcomes of substance abuse treatment Rather than question whether intensive outpatient treatment is better than traditional treatment, however, the important issue for further research is more likely to be which patients do better in which modalities. Intensive Outpatient Treatment for the Addictions allows you to help your patients by showing you how to design and provide the treatment delivery system that will be most effective.

Why is Johnny Screaming?

A Picaresque Novel of a Gay Italian-American Man in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn in the 1960s-1990s

By: Edward Ali

Johnny Spedolini, or as he is called affectionately, "Professor Speedo" or "Johnny Speedo," is a young man from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, who becomes a well-loved teacher in the years of the sixties through the nineties, Johnny is a devoted Catholic Christian and loves his church; he happens also to be gay in a time and place when being gay is not only regarded as a mortal sin, but can, indeed, cost the gay person his or her life. Johnny is certainly pained by the fact of his homosexuality, but even more, he is angered by contemporary religion's attitude toward homosexuality. The story revolves around Johnny's sardonic and angry review of his world, his quixotic railing against injustice in the world and his desire to do good and be helpful to others in this imperfect world. Most of all, the story is about the treasured friendship between Johnny, his student and friend, Joey and Joey's lovely wife-to-be, Angela. The love story of these three seekers after truth constitutes the true heart of the story.

The Carotid and Supra-Aortic Trunks

Diagnosis, Angioplasty and Stenting

By: Michel Henry,Edward B. Diethrich,Antonios Polydorou

Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting (CAS) is a new approach to treat a carotid stenosis. This new book provides interventional cardiologists, both as beginners or fully experienced, with a reference on all aspects of angioplasty and stenting of the carotid and supra-aortic trunks. Focusing on both the entire range of angioplasty and stenting treatment options for the surgeon treating patients on the operating table, and the range of radiological techniques used for the cardiologist to diagnose carotid artery stenosis (CAS) and associated conditions, this important book describes the best indications, the different techniques, the results, and also the limitations of CAS based on randomized studies and particularly the last published data (CREST study). Suitable for both novice and experienced interventionalists, it also addresses diagnosis of a carotid stenosis and complications from CAS and how to manage them.

Masks of the Universe

Changing Ideas on the Nature of the Cosmos

By: Edward Harrison

To the ancient Greeks the universe consisted of earth, air, fire, and water. To Saint Augustine it was the Word of God. To many modern scientists it is the dance of atoms and waves, and in years to come it may be different again. What then is the real Universe? History shows that in every age each society constructs its own universe, believing it to be the real and final Universe. Yet each universe is only a model or mask of the unknown Universe. Originally published in 2003, this book brings together fundamental scientific, philosophical, and religious issues in cosmology, raising thought-provoking questions. In every age people have pitied the universes of their ancestors, convinced that they have at last discovered the ultimate truth. Does the modern model stand at the threshold of discovering everything, or will it, like all the rest, come to be pitied?

The Problem of Time

Quantum Mechanics Versus General Relativity

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Problem of Time

Quantum Mechanics Versus General Relativity

By: Edward Anderson

This book is a treatise on time and on background independence in physics. It first considers how time is conceived of in each accepted paradigm of physics: Newtonian, special relativity, quantum mechanics (QM) and general relativity (GR). Substantial differences are moreover uncovered between what is meant by time in QM and in GR. These differences jointly source the Problem of Time: Nine interlinked facets which arise upon attempting concurrent treatment of the QM and GR paradigms, as is required in particular for a background independent theory of quantum gravity. A sizeable proportion of current quantum gravity programs - e.g. geometrodynamical and loop quantum gravity approaches to quantum GR, quantum cosmology, supergravity and M-theory - are background independent in this sense. This book's foundational topic is thus furthermore of practical relevance in the ongoing development of quantum gravity programs. This book shows moreover that eight of the nine facets of the Problem of Time already occur upon entertaining background independence in classical (rather than quantum) physics. By this development, and interpreting shape theory as modelling background independence, this book further establishes background independence as a field of study. Background independent mechanics, as well as minisuperspace (spatially homogeneous) models of GR and perturbations thereabout are used to illustrate these points. As hitherto formulated, the different facets of the Problem of Time greatly interfere with each others' attempted resolutions. This book explains how, none the less, a local resolution of the Problem of Time can be arrived at after various reconceptualizations of the facets and reformulations of their mathematical implementation. Self-contained appendices on mathematical methods for basic and foundational quantum gravity are included. Finally, this book outlines how supergravity is refreshingly different from GR as a realization of background independence, and what background independence entails at the topological level and beyond.

Effects of Substance Abuse Treatment on AIDS Risk Behaviors

By: Edward Gottheil

Drug abuse has emerged as the leading factor associated with transmission of HIV, and AIDS is the leading cause of mortality among drug-dependent individuals. Through Effects of Substance Abuse Treatment on AIDS Risk Behaviors, you will discover how drug treatment programs are becoming instrumental in reducing the risks of HIV/AIDS among substance abusers. Needle sharing is a major contributor to contracting HIV/AIDS but, as this book shows you, sexual risk behaviors from sex-trade workers, as well as risky behaviors due to the influence of cocaine and methamphetamines, contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS. From Effects of Substance Abuse Treatment on AIDS Risk Behaviors, you will discover drug abuse treatment methods that will reduce the number of injection episodes and reduce injection use in higher risk settings, such as shooting galleries, thereby reducing your clients’risk of infection. Effects of Substance Abuse Treatment on AIDS Risk Behaviors reveals the stark realities regarding substance abusers and HIV risk. Through this compelling book, you will gain new insight into how you can help drug abusers avoid contracting HIV/AIDS by: discussing intervention methods that do not adhere to abstinence-based treatment models, such as reducing a stimulant binge by one day examining the dangerous effects that methadone clinics, who discharge patients for cocaine use, can have on the reduction of risk behaviors among heroine addicts discovering the correlation that exists between the fact that opioid-dependent individuals who have more drug and legal problems are at a higher risk for AIDS risk behaviors With Effects of Substance Abuse Treatment on AIDS Risk Behaviors, you will discover how stimulant drug treatment in itself represents a potentially powerful HIV prevention method by allowing the individual to make more thoughtful decisions regarding their sexual behaviors. Through this insightful volume, you will also learn essential information pertaining to different regions of the country, allowing you to effectively tailor your treatment program for your community. For example, in urban areas of the Western United States, the greatest risk of HIV infection is from non-injected stimulants. Effects of Substance Abuse Treatment on AIDS Risk Behaviors will prove to you how drug treatment programs can significantly reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS and make lower infection rates a reality.
