520    "An authoritative, illuminating and deeply humane history 
       of addiction -- by a therapist who has reached the depths 
       of addiction himself. Even in the midst of a period of 
       staggering drug abuse that we can confidently call a 
       crisis, questions about the fundamental nature of 
       addiction, its origins, and its ideal treatments abound. 
       This absence of consensus is the latest plotted point on a
       centuries-old historical arc: as humans have struggled to 
       define, treat, and control addictive behaviour, stigma and
       controversy have been the only constants. With uncommon 
       empathy and erudition, Carl Erik Fisher draws on his own 
       experience as both a psychiatrist of addiction and a 
       recovering alcoholic as he traces the history of a 
       phenomenon that, centuries on, we hardly appear closer to 
       defining -- let alone addressing responsibly. A rich, 
       sweeping history that probes not only medicine and science
       but also policy, literature, religion, and sociology, A 
       War Within illuminates the extent to which the story of 
       addiction has persistently reflected broader questions of 
       what it means to be human and to take care of one another.
       Fisher introduces us to the physicians, activists, 
       politicians, researchers, and writers who have struggled 
       to understand and solve this complex condition. He also 
       examines the treatments and strategies that have produced 
       positive results for many addicts -- himself included -- 
       lighting the way forward for those whose lives addiction 
       threatens to destroy. A War Within is at once an eye-
       opening history of ideas, a riveting personal story of 
       addiction and recovery, and a clinician's impassioned call
       for a more expansive, nuanced view of one of society's 
       most intractable challenges."--|cProvided by publisher.
