Are you seeking a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding alcoholism? Do you find yourself struggling with AUD (Alcohol Use Disorder) or know someone who is? Look no further than Dr. Lida Prypchan's newest compilation of essays - a breakthrough work of clinical analysis that dives into the multifaceted nature of alcoholism. As a seasoned psychiatrist, Dr. Prypchan has spent three decades exploring the interplay between mental health and alcohol consumption. In this book, she compiles a series of essays that examine the overarching disorder of alcoholism and its intricate web of associations, from personality disorders to stress, depression, anxiety, PTSD and poly-substance abuse. Dr. Prypchan meticulously explores the underlying causes and propensities that lead to alcoholism and other related disorders. For instance, she delves into the compelling correlation between Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) and AUD. Her research shows that individuals with ASPD are more likely to exhibit psychopathic tendencies when they are alcoholics. In addition, Dr. Prypchan investigates how situational stressors like divorce often play a role in heavy drinking and the development of AUD. The book spotlights two issues of growing concern, the implications of drinking for young people - (more specifically the social phenomenon that is college 'drunkorexia') and the complex relationship between women and alcohol. It also includes a groundbreaking exploration of the way social media can impact alcohol and substance abuse - by compounding existing feelings of alienation. Dr. Prypchan argues that alcohol is only a temporary escape from the feelings of loneliness and isolation that plague many individuals. Despite seeking solace or relief from solitude through drinking, individuals often find themselves more detached than before. Human connection and companionship - not alcohol - are key to combating this loneliness. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Lida Prypchan has created a valuable resource for anyone seeking to better understand the complexities of alcoholism. Her insights into the relationship between alcoholism and various mental disorders are enlightening. With her meticulous analysis and multifaceted approach, Dr. Prypchan shows that recovery is possible for even the most resistant individuals - providing hope and inspiration for those who seek it.

¿Por qué la ansiedad moderna? La ansiedad siempre ha estado con nosotros, pero ¿qué es la ansiedad en una sociedad tecnológica? Si nuestra tolerancia al estímulo sensorial es finita, ¿cuándo llegamos al punto de ruptura en nuestro mundo frenético con sus medios de comunicación de 24 horas, su ataque visual, su aspiración material incesante? Si la felicidad se encuentra con moderación, ¿qué será de nosotros en un mundo de extremos? Éstos son los hilos que recorren ésta colección, con una mirada ocasional a tiempos más inocentes. Emily Brontë forjó, posiblemente, la novela más apasionada de la literatura a partir de una vida cotidiana ascética inconcebible para la mayoría de nosotros, acostumbrados como estamos a la distracción. Tanto consciente como inconscientemente estamos siendo constantemente estimulados, seducidos y sedados por placeres fáciles de ganar, ¿acaso estamos perdiendo la capacidad de alcanzar esa felicidad profunda, la que esta debajo de la superficie, aquella de la que hablan los grandes sabios de la historia?¿Por qué la mujer moderna? Éstas piezas se centran en los alcances externos o extremos de la experiencia romántica: amor imposible, amor trágico, decepciones que nos marcan de por vida. ¿Son éstos temas "femeninos" o simplemente intentan describir la experiencia humana? Indudablemente vemos más material escrito por mujeres y sobre mujeres, pero después de milenios de silencio, donde la experiencia de la mujer fue casi completamente indocumentada y sin contexto, ¿sabemos siquiera qué es una mujer? Eclesiastés dice que no hay nada nuevo bajo el sol, pero quizás es posible dar una nueva perspectiva y es esto precisamente lo que más necesita este mundo psicológicamente abrumado.
