Love and Death
Philosopher Ross Reed, Ph.D., refers to an eclectic array of thinkers in Love and Death: an Existential Theory of Addiction in particular, existential philosophers Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) and Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980). According to Dr. Reed, addiction is usually the result of existential or life conditions rather than underlying physiological problems. Therefore, it may involve not only drugs or alcohol but also relationships, belief systems, activities, and even emotional states. Anything that can serve to deflect ones consciousness from reflectively apprehending the task of becoming oneself can serve as an object of addiction. If the object is another person, one might ask whether in fact addiction can masquerade as love. Is it possible to believe that you are in love with someone when in fact you are merely addicted to him or her? In this creative and provocative work, Reed argues that Sartres theory of love is in fact a theory of addiction.

The Mindful Path to Addiction Recovery
Mindfulness, the quality of attention that combines full awareness with acceptance of each moment, just as it is, is gaining broad acceptance among mental health professionals as an adjunct to treatment. Because at the heart of addiction is the fear of painful emotional states, addicts compulsively seek drugs and alcohol to avoid or escape emotional pain. Mindfulness, on the other hand, helps us develop greater acceptance and ease with life’s challenges, as well as greater self-compassion. Here, Dr. Lawrence Peltz, who has worked as an addiction psychiatrist for nearly three decades, draws from his clinical experience and on the techniques of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) to explain the fundamental dynamics of addiction and the stages of the recovery process, and also gives us specific mindfulness exercises to support recovery.
Dr. Kostrubala and the Invention of Running Therapy
Dr. Thaddeus L. Kostrubala, an anthropologist, doctor and psychiatrist (retired) from Santa Fe, New Mexico, is a pioneer in the field of running therapy and founder of the related therapy approach known as Paleoanalysis. In particular, he is known for his work "The Joy of Running" (1976), which became a bestseller and a classic in the US running and international running therapy movement. It has been translated into multiple languages, and was recently reissued and expanded by the author. This text by Wolfgang W. Schüler, M.A., Germany, traces the visionary Dr. Kostrubala's running therapy path - which sometimes resembles a Greek tragedy - from its beginnings to the present day. It is being published on the occasion of Dr. Kostrubala's 90th birthday in September 2020, in English, Spanish, French and German, in the form of a book with historical and current photos.
