Book ID/图书代码： 02173009B34025
English Summary/英文概要： This invaluable work will contribute much to the battle against our number one disease."--from the Foreword by George McGovern, former senator and author of Terry: My Daughter’s Life-and-Death Struggle with Alcoholism
Alcoholism is a disease. It’s time we started treating it like one.
Science has offered undisputed proof that alcoholism is a disease rather than a weakness of character, yet millions of alcoholics continue to suffer due to inappropriate treatment. Now the co-author of the modern classic Under the Influence has teamed up with prominent alcoholism experts to provide new answers to this national epidemic.
Based on the latest scientific research, Beyond the Influence clearly explains the neurological nature of the disease and reveals why some people drink addictively and others do not. It also spells out what needs to be done to treat alcoholism, including:
Steps to take for an intervention
How to find the right treatment program
Which psychological approaches work best
Why spirituality is essential to recovery
New insights into relapse prevention
What you should know about diet, exercise, and nontraditional treatments such as acupuncture
Provocative and eye-opening, compelling and compassionate, Beyond the Influence is not only a message of hope for alcoholics--it is a blueprint for saving lives.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 小饮怡情，大饮成病；是时候该正视这个问题了。
