Attachment Theory, the Self Medication Hypothesis and Individual
Psychology are brought together to revitalize marginalized men.
"Bath of Steel" shows how therapy validates trauma through building
a purpose by finding a meaning to live. This is the psychological
escape ladder from chronic depression. Drawing on Frankl, Adler,
Stack Sullivan, Bowlby, Khantzian, Winnicott and Fromm, hope is
kindled. Then a practical therapeutic team intervention from
skilled life builders harnesses this energy to create a custom
built future. This is a psychologically informed environment.
Detailing early traumatic lives through 40 case histories of
homeless men Dr. Dean Whittington PhD illuminates the various self
medication strategies used to obliterate memories. Substance use
allows these men to negate meaninglessness through creating a
psychological withdrawal from the world. Psychologists,
psychotherapists, psychopathologists, social policy makers, gender
practitioners, criminologists and "addiction" experts will all find
this revelatory.
This book explores the emotional worlds of white working class men
and why they self medicate using heroin, alcohol, crack and
amphetamines. It drawn on the therapeutic work that the author
undertook in Deptford South East London over a fifteen year period
and highlights how familial, institutional, cultural and historical
violence has shaped white working class masculinities in terms of
love and violence. The book transcends current research paradigms
drawing on relational theory to move beyond the 'front' presented
in current social research to look at what emotions have been
masked and kept secret. The book then highlights the failure of
current stratgies to engage with the defined problem by taking the
presenting masculine 'front' as an issue to be resolved through
discipline The research draws on Alice Miller, Gitta Sereny, Klaus
Thewelait, Jim Gilligan, Deleuze and Guattari to open up new ways
of conceptualising violence and addiction relevant to social
science researchers, criminologists, psychologists, gender studies
as well as the general public.
