Recenzii
This book is very interesting for social workers and social pedagogues working with old people...The content of the book encompasses three parts (1) understanding substance use, abuse and misuse, (2) psychotropic substances, and (3) psychotherapeutic technics and harm reduction interventions. Each chapter bases on acknowledged research findings. Therefore, this book offers an alternative to all the misguided approaches that have been applied in the past.
"Robert Youdin's book Old and High is a ground-breaking guide to understanding Baby Boomers' use, misuse, and abuse of psychotropic drugs. The book is broken into three distinct parts."
Focusing on a hitherto much neglected cohort, this meticulously researched volume, richly illustrated with case examples, is a unique contribution to the field of substance abuse literature. Dr. Robert Youdin sheds light upon the 'hidden epidemic' of psychotropic misuse amongst the baby-boom generation. Generously referencing the physiology and neuroscience of substance habits, he pays welcome attention to the psycho-social-historical roots of the problem and suggests a humane, evidence-based, harm-reduction approach to its treatment and resolution." -Gabor Maté, MD, Author, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction; Adjunct Professor, Faculty of Criminology, Simon Fraser University
