"Ketamine was synthesized in 1962 after Parke-Davis scientists had discovered PCP, realized its potential and also its dangerous qualities, and returned to the lab to find a cousin with fewer drawbacks. Rasmussen traces ketamine's story from the lab to the anesthesia practice, describing the molecule and how it works in the body. Ketamine-again following PCP-became a commonly used recreational drug and is a problem substance in Asia, where it is easy to obtain. As an anesthetic, ketamine is highly effective, but it has shown odd characteristics such as dissociative states, mystical experiences, feelings that mimic near-death experiences, euphoria, and other symptoms akin to psychedelia. A serious side effect with prolonged use is a highly debilitating condition called ulcerative cystitis. Ketamine has been studied as an analog for schizophrenia, to try to find causes and treatments for that disorder. In recent times, ketamine is being explored as a treatment for chronic pain, depression, substance use disorders, and psychotherapy augmentation. Rasmussen concludes the book with a discussion of ketamine's paradoxical effects: is it a neuroprotectant or a neurotoxin?"--

"The psychoanalytic frame, as we have known it, is at risk of disappearing. Psychoanalysts must meet the challenges of working within a radically altered psychoanalytic frame at a time of antiscientific attitudes toward climate change and heightened demands for racial justice and gender self-identification. We live in a frightening world in which psychoanalytic thinking might be of great assistance. Authors in this new edition explore how psychoanalysis is evolving in the current zeitgeist with its many challenges. All the chapters show that psychoanalytic methods, while recognizing the importance of the past, continue to remain open to the potential for new possibilities even in uncertain, extraordinary times. The search for individual truth has always been at the core of psychoanalytic thought. This third edition acknowledges the sociocultural and geopolitical forces that are shaping all our lives and affecting our search for truth, with the aim of sustaining that search"--

"Of increasing importance in the field of psychiatry, epigenetics has led to a greater understanding of pathologies and their possible treatments. The more complex aspects of epigenetics-the study of cellular events that affect gene expression without changing the DNA sequence-often exceed the scope of preclinical training for many mental health providers.

Our team of addiction psychiatrists identified relatively limited literature on the pharmacotherapy of multisubstance use disorders and special patient populations such as adolescents, pregnant patients, and members of the LGBTQ community. With few FDA-approved treatments for substance use disorders and no explicit treatment guidelines, we hope to bring our clinical experience to mental health and primary care clinicians. Most of all, we hope to allay fears and instill hope in clinicians and patients during their recovery journeys"--
