The first five chapters are preparatory, exposing the many myths and falsehoods that currently govern the addiction treatment and recovery scenes. The last five chapters are designed to give you realistic ideas about the nature of addiction and recovery. From there, you will be well equipped to deal with a range of problems. ... In the end, you might conclude that most of what our North American recovery culture feeds us is wrong."--Page xvii.

The History of Problem Gambling

Temperance, Substance Abuse, Medicine, and Metaphors

By: Peter Ferentzy,Nigel Turner

This book documents the history of ideas about problem gambling and its link to addictive disorders. The book uses a combination of literature review and conceptual and linguistic analysis to explore the way ideas about problem gambling gave changed over time. It examines the religious, socio-cultural, and medical influences on the development of the concept of problem gambling as a disease, along with the ways in which such ideas were influenced by attitudes about substance abuse. The history of mental illness, notably as it pertains to themes such as loss of control over behavior, is also addressed. The book ends with a discussion of the current status and future prospects, with an eye to which ideas about problem gambling and addictions seem most promising and which should perhaps be left behind.

Dealing with Addiction

Why the 20th Century was Wrong

By: Peter Ferentzy

Dr. Peter Ferentzy, an addiction expert who has lived the life of a crack addict, reveals the ugly truth: the dominant approach to drug and alcohol addictions has hurt-and even killed-more people than it has helped. "Hitting bottom," "abstinence," and other buzzwords are often code for approaches that promote degradation, rape, and death-and on a scale that really amounts to genocide.

Smashed!

The Many Meanings of Intoxication and Drunkenness

By: Peter Kelly,Jenny Advocat,Lyn Harrison,Christopher Hickey

Everyone knows what intoxication and drunkenness are, what they look like, how to define and measure them and what their consequences are. At least we might assume so given the ways these words are used by the media, by politicians and policy makers and by various medical, educational and legal experts in Australia and around the world. A whole variety of concerns about young people, individual and public health, road safety, sexual assault and violence are connected to these taken-for-granted understandings of intoxication and drunkenness. Drawing on an extensive review of research from bio-medicine, psychology, sociology and legal studies, and from news media reporting, the authors reveal a far more complex picture. This is a picture marked by little agreement on how to define intoxication and drunkenness, how to measure intoxication, what getting drunk means to those who drink (including young people, men and women and people from different cultural and national backgrounds), and where responsibility lies for many of the individual, social, medical and legal consequences of intoxication and drunkenness. Smashed! presents an overview of the history of these concerns and an extensive account of the many meanings of intoxication and drunkenness at the start of the 21st century. It provides a valuable resource for researchers, policy makers, the media and members of the community who are involved in these ongoing, often emotive, debates.
