Conference on Alternative Strategies for Alcoholism Treatment
Alcoholism treatment strategies and ethical challenges, with video archives in three parts. Part one features David Musto on temperance history, and starting at 00:40:15 Charles O’Brien details modern pharmacological treatments. Part two has Kathleen Carroll in an animated talk about trials of behavioural therapies and combined approaches, then at 00:57:35 Arthur Caplan speaks about ethical issues around why drug treatment for alcoholism feels threatening to some and their sense of autonomy. Part three is a fascinating panel discussion on legal and ethical issues in specific case reports (includes problems with the grossly inadequate Canadian mental health system and war-on-drugs US Customs bullies: Canadians who seek treatment in the US will get banned for life). Accompanying pdfs here. Unfortunately the slides are mostly not visible, but it’s still a cool event worth watching.

I don’t even know where to begin but here’s a start: who the hell is Irene Kontje aka your trusted “AA Spokesperson”?!? Tradition Ten in AA states that “we have no opinion on outside issues, hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversary”. Miss Irene needs to speak for herself. Shame on her and shame on you Mr. Morgan. this entire article is insulting and completely clueless to the realities of what it means to be an alcoholic, gay or not.
