Fifty Years in the Service of Addiction Treatment - An Evolution in Paradigm and Policy

David E. Smith

Maison d'édition: Central Recovery Press

Synopsis

Authored by the physician who pioneered addiction medicine in the US, and who has been actively involved in that field for upwards of fifty years.During these five decades the treatment of the disease of addiction has evolved from being to criminal act to a recognized branch of medical practice, and the landmark 2012 US Supreme Court decision on healthcare reform that requires parity for addiction and mental health treatment is part of that remarkable transition.The emerging model of addiction treatment is to treat this disease like any other progressive, chronic, incurable, and potentially fatal disease, such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.Based on the ever-increasing understanding of the neurobiology of addiction, there is a growing body of scientific research providing evidence that addiction is a brain disease.The medicalization of addiction treatment means that this disease is treated as a medical disease--a disease of the brain and its functions.Treating addiction like a brain disease reverses the disordered behavior. And nothing is more powerful to prove that point than recovery.The emphasis in treatment strategy is brain health. In other words, treatment should focus on getting and keeping the patient brain healthy.

War Surgery 1914–18

Thomas Scotland, Steven Heys

“A most interesting book, both from a World War I historical perspective and from the major changes in medicine that are so well outlined.” —British Journal of Surgery   The First World War resulted in appalling wounds that quickly became grossly infected. The medical profession had to rapidly modify its clinical practice to deal with the major problems presented by overwhelming sepsis. Besides risk of infection, there were many other issues to be addressed including casualty evacuation, anesthesia, the use of X-rays, and how to deal with disfiguring wounds—plastic surgery in its infancy. This book focuses closely on the human aspects of the surgery of warfare, and how developments in the understanding of combat injuries occurred.   Ten essays covering a wide variety of topics, including the evacuation of casualties; anesthesia, shock, and resuscitation; pathology; X-rays; orthopedic wounds; abdominal wounds; chest wounds; wounds of the skull and brain; and the development of plastic surgery. All material is supported by an extensive number of figures, tables, and images.   Those with a passion for the history of this period, even if they have no medical training, will find fascinating information about those surgeons who worked in Casualty Clearing Stations between 1914 and 1918—and laid the foundations for modern war surgery as practiced today.
