Alcoholism, the Facts
Aimed at those who have alcohol problems and the people who share their lives, this text examines the social, psychological, and medical aspects. It includes expanded sections on women and looks at results from studies into the genetic causes.
Goodwin and Guze's Psychiatric Diagnosis
With two new lead authors, the sixth edition of Psychiatric Diagnosis continues its thirty-five year tradition of providing a clear, critical and well-documented overview of major psychiatric syndromes, with minimum inclusion of unwieldy theories or clinical opinions. Medical students and psychiatric residents will continue to find this new edition to be a unique guide to the field-a volume that concisely yet comprehensively dissects major psychiatric disorders. Well-known for providing a thorough yet concise view of the natural history of basic psychiatric disorders, this popular text has been extensively updated, chapter by chapter, in this sixth edition. Terminology has been made consiste...
Anxiety
"Filled with intriguing...information"--The New York Times. "Goodwin holds strong convictions and clearly expresses them in an entertainingly sardonic style"--Library Journal. This intelligent, entertaining look at anxiety ranges from mild stress to serious phobias (including "pantaphobia," fear of almost everything), offering fascinating details (nostalgia was once treated as a disease) and educated advice on assessing the meaning and seriousness of one's own anxiety.
Addictions
Through the medium of interview transcripts, this book offers contact with the experience, thinking and values of 27 men and women who have taken varieties of highly important leadership roles in shaping national and international scientific and policy responses to alcohol and drug problems.
The Biology of Alcoholism
In this volume, the third of our series, the emphasis has shifted from the theoretical and experimental to the more clinical and practical aspects of alcoholism. Where, in the earlier volumes, more attention was directed to animal than human studies, in this volume, almost all material deals with the human condition. The clinical manifestations of alcoholism may be divided into two major aspects, that of the disease itself and that of its complications. This separation is to some extent artificial since, in a sense, the natural history of the disease is a function of the development of certain complicating mechanisms. These mechanisms in turn either become part and parcel of the underlying c...
Alcoholism and Clinical Psychiatry
It is well known that alcoholism continues to be one of this country's major public health problems. This issue is carefully documented by Dr. Gerald Klerman, Chief of ADAMHA, in the second chapter ofthis volume. In spite of the major role that alcohol plays in the health care issues of internal medicine, neurology, and psychiatry, the subject continues to fall between the cracks of the various disciplines. For this reason, it has become almost a discipline of its own; yet there are no academic departments of alcoholism because academic departments are unidisciplinary and alcoholism is clearly a multidisciplinary field within medicine. In spite of the many disciplines involved in the study a...
Treatment and Rehabilitation of the Chronic Alcoholic
The present volume contains a large variety of treatment approaches to the long-term rehabilitation of the alcoholic, ranging from the biological to the physiological to the psychological to the social. The multiplicity of proposed therapies, each of which has its strong proponents, suggests that alcoholism is either a complex medical-social disease syndrome requiring a multipronged treatment approach or a very simple illness for which we have not yet dis covered the remedy. The latter may, indeed, be true, but we cannot use what we do not know and must use what we do know. We do, however, have the obligation to be responsible in our treatment, to provide the best that is known at this time,...
