The Urge
our history of addiction‘Carl Erik Fisher takes the reader on a vivid tour over several thousand years of multiple cycles of science, medicine, and literature, woven together by the thread of the author’s own alcohol and amphetamine addiction and treatment. It is made even more emphatic and moving because he is also a psychiatrist who treats such patients … [The Urge] is thorough and revealing … [and is] a mature view of the topic from someone with immense experience of it.’

The Urge
An authoritative, illuminating, and deeply humane history of addiction-a phenomenon that remains baffling and deeply misunderstood despite having touched countless lives-by an addiction psychiatrist striving to understand his own family and himself"The Urge is an absolutely brilliant exploration of humanity's ever-present struggle withaddiction, or what psychiatrist Carl Erik Fisher calls 'the terrifying breakdown of reason.' Dr. Fisher's firsthand experience, both as a doctor and a patient, gives The Urge a layer of insight that deepens its historical focus. Readers will walk away with a nuanced grasp of the high stakes of our broken medical system and the bias baked into our understanding of addiction and mental illness in general. This book is special-as edifying as it is electrifying, as meaningful as it is humane."-Susannah Cahalan, author of Brain on FireEven after a decades-long opioid overdose crisis, intense controversy still rages over the fundamental nature of addiction and the best way to treat it. With uncommon empathy and erudition, Carl Erik Fisher draws on his own experience as a clinician, researcher, and alcoholic in recovery as he traces the history of a phenomenon that, centuries on, we hardly appear closer to understanding-let alone addressing effectively.As a psychiatrist-in-training fresh from medical school, Fisher was soon face-to-face with his own addiction crisis, one that nearly cost him everything. Desperate to make sense of the condition that had plagued his family for generations, he turned to the history of addiction, learning that the current quagmire is only the latest iteration of a centuries-old story: humans have struggled to define, treat, and control addictive behavior for most of recorded history, including well before the advent of modern science and medicine.A rich, sweeping history that probes not only medicine and science but also literature, religion, philosophy, and sociology, The Urge illuminates the extent to which the story of addiction has persistently reflected broader questions of what it means to be human and care for one another. Fisher introduces us to the people who have endeavored to address this complex condition through the ages: physicians and politicians, activists and artists, researchers and writers, and of course the legions of people who have struggled with their own addictions. He also examines the treatments and strategies that have produced hope and relief for many people with addiction, himself included. Only by reckoning with our history of addiction, he argues-our successes and our failures-can we light the way forward for those whose lives remain threatened by its hold.The Urge is at once an eye-opening history of ideas, a riveting personal story of addiction and recovery, and a clinician's urgent call for a more expansive, nuanced, and compassionate view of one of society's most intractable challenges.

Onze geschiedenis van verslavingE-bookHoewel allerlei vormen van verslaving meer dan ooit de samenleving ondermijnen, verschillen deskundigen nog altijd van mening over de fundamentele aard van verslaving en de beste behandelmethode. In dit boek put Carl Erik Fisher uit zijn eigen ervaring als klinisch psychiater, onderzoeker en herstellend alcoholist, afkomstig uit een familie die al generaties lang worstelt met verslavingen. Hij ontdekte dat het moeras waarin hij verkeerde slechts een herhaling was van een eeuwenoud verhaal. Met veel empathie en eruditie schetst Fisher een prikkelende cultuurgeschiedenis van verslavingsgedrag. Een fenomeen zo oud als de mensheid, dat we vele eeuwen later nauwelijks beter begrijpen.
