Addiction as an Attachment Disorder

Author:
Philip Flores
In Stock:

"Addiction is a disorder in self-regulation. Individuals who become dependent on addictive substances cannot regulate their emotions, self-care, self-esteem, and relationships. In this monumental and illuminating text Philip Flores covers all the reasons why this is so. But it is the domain of interpersonal relations that he makes clear why individuals susceptible to substance use disorders (SUDs) are especially vulnerable. His emphasis on addiction as an attachment disorder is principally important because he provides extensive scholarly and clinical insights as to why certain vulnerable individuals so desperately need to substitute chemical solutions and connections for human ones.
The strength of Flores's paradigm of addiction as an attachment disorder is that it is a theory that effectively and wisely guides treatment, but at the same time, when properly implemented or practiced, the treatment resonates with and further ...

Olivia Gordon

The extraordinary story of a young person's experience of the drug ecstasy and how she emerged from her dark night into a new life.
Olivia Gordon is bright and highly articulate. The daughter of two Oxford dons, she has been to the jaws of hell in her experience of the drug ecstasy and writes to inform people and to offer help.
Drugs are a religion and a moral code to searching, impressionable young people. Olivia Gordon's Ecstasy-induced depression was a dark night of the soul, completely alien to the corporate/atheistic mentality of her world and yet its direct product.
After a description of the highs - she took her first Ecstasy pill at 17 - Olivia Gordon gives an account of her first euphoric trip, a flashback to early childhood, a sensation of the whole of life flashing before her eyes. There then follows an account of the depression that followed. Included is an account of panic attacks, the experience of coming out of ...

Imagine not drinking a bottle of wine before making a pass; not moving in like a starving cat when someone is at the bar; not apologising for something you don't remember doing. Once upon a time, Tania Glyde couldn't imagine living any other way. She wondered whether she had a problem, but so many people drank more and as a clock-watching 6pm-er who hardly ever threw up in public, by general standards she was fine - despite the constant hangover and the bottle of vodka stashed in her handbag.At the end of a 23-year love affair with alcohol, Tania Glyde remembers her inner white wine witch. Exposing the culpability of the drinks industry, the enabling qualities of class, and our powerful sense of entitlement to drink until we fall over, "Cleaning Up" examines a moral panic of our time, exploring why women drink, how to stop, and what life after alcohol is really like.

Co-existing mental health and drug and alcohol problems occur frequently in primary care and clinical settings. Despite this, health professionals rarely receive training in how to detect, assess and formulate interventions for co-existing problems and few clinical guidelines exist. This handbook provides an exciting and highly useful addition to this area. Leading clinicians from the UK, the US and Australia provide practical descriptions of assessments and interventions for co-existing problems. These will enable professionals working with co-existing problems to understand best practice and ensure that people with co-existing problems receive optimal treatment. A range of overarching approaches are covered, including: working within a cognitive behavioural framework; provision of consultation-liaison services, training and supervision; individual, group and family interventions; and working with rurally isolated populations.

Counseling Addicted Families,
Gerald A. Juhnke and William Bryce Hagedorn recognize that even those treatment providers who understand the importance of the familial context of addiction are often stymied by the variety of family treatment theories and their often imperfect fit for cases of addiction. In this book, Juhnke and Hagedorn provide a truly integrated model for assessment and treatment.
Based upon the authors' combined twenty-three years of experience in clinical and treatment supervision, the Integrated Family Addictions Model consists of six progressive treatment tiers, which organize the relevant family treatment theories into a graduated and coherent sequence, beginning with the briefest and least costly forms of therapy.

Author:
Charles Rubin

This is the first and only book on the market that focuses solely on the hurting parent and not the errant child. It is strictly for parents, and written by a parent who has gone through the heartbreak of two children on drugs and has survived to write about it.
With a common sense approach, Rubin shows parents how to regain a footing in their own lives, and how to regain those elusive values called health and happiness. It also encourages a parent to give up the erroneous idea that the child's addiction is the parent's fault: the average parent is not, regardless of public opinion, the architect of the raging addict her or his child has become.
Includes: * actions parents can take when loyalty to their children becomes their own downfall * how parents who are sacrificial lambs thwart positive outcomes * how the recovery of the parent can inspire the recovery of the child * how to evaluate your mental, physical, emotional and ...

Fragmented Intimacy: Addiction in a Social World
order quantity
NZ$ 135.00 each
Hardback
Author:
Peter J. Adams
In Stock:

This book is a first major attempt to examine what might be involved in consistently applying social understandings to addictions.
Traditional approaches are dominated by what the book refers to as "particle" perspectives in which the focus narrows down to the person experiencing the addiction. Despite decades of research and development, particle–derived intervention approaches have yielded marginal gains in reducing levels of addiction. A shift in orientation may open up new possibilities. A social perspective shifts from thinking in terms of particles to viewing a person in terms of relationships. People become, in many ways, defined by the array of connections that comprise their social world. The reorientation generates interesting new opportunities for explanation and intervention.

Gambling, Freedom and Democracy

As a consequence of the rapid proliferation of commercial gambling in Western-style democracies, governments and communities are encountering a complex array of economic, social and cultural harms associated with this expansion. This book focuses specifically on harms to democratic systems. It examines how people with key roles in democratic structures are vulnerable to subtle influence from the burgeoning profits of gambling. It focuses particularly on the Western-style democracies of North America, Europe and Australasia. It argues that governments have a duty of care to protect their own democratic processes from subtle degradations and that independence from the gambling industries needs to be proactively built into public sector structures and processes. It outlines how a public health approach, harm minimisation strategies and international conventions can provide the base for protecting the integrity of democratic systems.
