These discussions between legendary painter, film-maker, and poet
Marcus Reichert and Edward Rozzo, professor of photographic
semantics and visual culture and renowned professional
photographer, are a revelation for their intimacy and honesty.
Reflecting on subjects as diverse as technique, eroticism,
spirituality, and the dictates of an increasingly powerful
bureaucracy of galleries and museums, Reichert and Rozzo come to
some startling and compelling conclusions. Generously illustrated
in colour with works by such visionary artists as Antonin Artaud,
Francis Bacon, Nan Goldin, and William Eggleston, ART & EGO is
essential reading for anyone drawn to confessional writing of a
disarming and amusing nature.

This book presents the main theoretical and practical tools
provided by behavior analysis to diagnose and treat substance use
disorders. Based on the theoretical framework of radical
behaviorism, first developed by B.F. Skinner, behavior analysis
offers a distinctive biopsychosocial approach to substance use
disorders by considering both the biogenetic and environmental
influences on behaviors associated with substance use, enabling the
development of more integrative and effective diagnostic,
prevention, and treatment strategies at the individual and
collective level. The volume is divided in three parts. Part one
presents an introduction to core concepts in behavior analysis and
related disciplines, such as behavioral pharmacology, and their
specific applications in substance use disorders diagnostics and
treatment. Part two shows how different types of
behavioral-analytical clinical and social interventions can be
applied in practice to treat substance use disorders, such as:
Contingency Management Exposure Therapy Functional Analytical
Psychotherapy (FAP) Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Acceptance
and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Therapy by Contingencies of
Reinforcement (TCR) Motivational Interviewing Finally, part three
covers special topics, such as the interfaces between neurosciences
and behavior analysis on drug use and dependence, effects of
substance use in romantic relationships and their relationship with
violence against women. Behavior Analysis and Substance Dependence
will be a valuable tool for clinical and health psychologists, as
well as other health professionals and social workers dealing with
substance use disorders, by presenting, in one single volume, an
overview of the tools offered by behavior analysis to deal with
this serious health issue.
In the last quarter of the 20th century, politicians in Washington,
as well as interest groups, regulatory policy makers, and drug
industry leaders were forced to confront the hot-button issue of
pharmaceutical regulation. The struggle always centered on product
innovation, consumer protection, and choice in the free market. As
the American economy stuttered in the late 1970s, the stakes were
extremely high for the powerful drug industry and the American
public. At the center of this drama was the Food and Drug
Administration, which was censured from both the left and right of
the political spectrum for being too strict and too lenient in the
application of its regulatory powers. Lucas Richert explores the
FDA, drugs, and politics in the context of the watershed Reagan
era, a period when the rhetoric of limited government, reduced
regulation, and enhanced cooperation between businesses and U.S.
regulatory agencies was on the ascent. As he investigates the
controversies surrounding Laetrile, Reye's Syndrome, Oraflex,
patient package inserts, diet pills, and HIV/AIDS drugs, Richert
argues that the practical application of conservative economic
principles to the American drug industry was A Prescription for
Scandal.
