This volume, ninth in the Research Series of correspondence in the
Yale Boswell Editions, assembles the bulk of the surviving letters
between the young Boswell and his circle of friends and
acquaintances in a period crucial to his personal and authorial
development, up to the time he wrote his now famous journal in
London in 1762-63. Opening with an exchange - rooted in his
rebellious adolescent fascination with the Edinburgh theatre - with
the gentleman-actor West Digges, it closes with letters written in
July 1763 near the end of his second visit to London (the one in
which he first met Samuel Johnson), a short time before his
reluctant departure for legal study in Utrecht. The volume features
centrally the correspondence between Boswell and his friend and
literary collaborator Andrew Erskine (1740-93), a poet-soldier of
the kind the young Boswell briefly aspired to be. Their surviving
letters, printed here alongside the revised versions in the
facetious Letters between the Honourable Andrew Erskine, and James
Boswell, Esq., Boswell's first book-length publication, and the
first to bear his name, offer revealingly early evidence of the
kinds of selective self-revision Boswell would employ in his later
writings and perfect in the Life of Johnson (1791). Overall, these
letters document Boswell's fluid experiments in selfhood as he
ponders his life's future possible trajectories - as soldier,
lawyer, wit, author, bon-vivant, Scots laird, or M.P. Some
thirty-five correspondents are represented in more than 150 letters
and other documents (such as verse-epistles), comprehensively
annotated to the long-established standards of the Yale Boswell
Editions.
This book provides an accessible, up-to-date understanding of how
to treat patients with substance and non-substance-related
addiction. It covers all the typical substance and non-substance
use disorders and presents evidence in a case-based format. Concise
and comprehensive, opening chapters relay a preliminary assessment
of addiction disorders and their neurobiology. Subsequent chapters
then offer specific treatment options, challenges, and cases
relating to the abuse of distinct substances. The substances
mentioned earlier include alcohol, opioids, stimulants,
hallucinogens, and sedatives. Additionally, one chapter covers the
unique issues associated with treating behavioral addictions, such
as sex and gambling. Each chapter will outline cases in a fashion
that will optimize the reader's experience. In closing, the book
examines co-occurring substance use disorders and mental illness.
An invaluable addition to the Psychiatry Update Series, Addiction
Medicine is an essential reference for mental health clinicians, as
well as primary care and family medicine clinicians.
