    Book Synopsis From a psychiatrist on the frontlines of addiction medicine and an expert on the history of drug use comes the authoritative, engaging, and accessible history of the flower that helped to build (Booklist) -- and now threatens -- modern society. Opioid addiction is fast becoming the most deadly crisis in American history. In 2018, it claimed nearly fifty thousand lives -- more than gunshots and car crashes combined, and almost as many Americans as were killed in the entire Vietnam War. But even as the overdose crisis ravages our nation -- straining our prison system, dividing families, and defying virtually every legislative solution to treat it -- few understand how it came to be. Opium tells the fascinating (Lit Hub) and at times harrowing tale of how we arrived at today''s crisis, mak[ing] timely and startling connections among painkillers, politics, finance, and society (Laurence Ber

  • Rowman & Littlefield The Myth of Sex Addiction

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe media today is filled with powerful men in trouble for their sexual behaviors, and invariably, they are diagnosed as sexual addicts. Since Adam first hid his nakedness from God and pointed the finger at Eve, men have struggled to take responsibility for their sexuality. Over the past three decades, these behaviors have come to reflect not a moral failing, but instead, evidence of an ill-defined disease, that of sexual addiction. The concept of sexual addiction is a controversial one because it is based on questionable research and subjective moral judgments. Labeling these behaviors as sex addiction asserts a false, dangerous myth that undermines personal responsibility. Not only does this epidemic of sex addiction excuses mislabel male sexuality as dangerous and unhealthy, but it destroys our ability to hold people accountable for their behaviors. By labeling males as weak and powerless before the onslaught and churning tide of lust, we take away those things that men should live Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction 1: How Many Definitions Do You Need?
