Controversial pioneer in heroin rehab
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
With a stunning display of verbal pyrotechnics and sheer force of personality, ex-con John Maher of the Delancy Street Foundation confronted his criminally inclined subjects on their most troublesome personal habit-- heroin addiction. This book is intense. It may force you to revisit some sticky questions.At what point is it no longer ethical to force your viewpoint on someone else for the sake of their own good? Is emotional abuse acceptable in certain circumstances? At what point is silence condoning heroin chic?Not exactly a pleasant read, but well worth the time.
analyses rehab program by model of psychosoc development
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Charles lived at the Delancey Street Foundation for a year. He applied his prize winning Ph.D. formulations of psycho-social development and regression to the principles and practice there. Brilliant analytical tools written about with precision and panache. I need to replace my original copy! help.
