This book is written for the person, professional or lay, who wishes to apply religious resources more effectively to the problem of alcoholism. It deals with what to teach concerning alcoholism and how to handle the alcoholic who comes seeking counsel. Part I - Understanding the Problem of Alcoholism Chapter 1: What Is an Alcoholic? This chapter provides a working definition of alcoholism, then describes the types and developmental pattern of alcoholism, the problem of the woman alcoholic, and the size and seriousness of the problem. Chapter 2: What Are the Causes of Alcoholism? This chapter reviews the causative factors involved in alcoholism as they operate on three levels: (1) Biochemical and psychological factors. (2) Availability of alcohol and its attractiveness as determined by social attitudes, and (3) Physiological changes as well as cultural attitudes. Alcohol provides a "pseudo-solution "to problems and anxieties. It is when this collapses, the alcoholic turns to religious solutions.

  • Vital Records
    Wilderness House Literary Review 8/2 Robert Moore Vital Records find Mom where I usually do, in her wheelchair in the sunroom, bathed in the sun light from a large plate glass window overlook- I ing a field greening in the March thaw, wrapped in her Boston Red Sox blanket. It shuts out the chill of a Syracuse spring and lets her close her eyes and savor the heat and pretend she’s in Sanibel, a place she loves but will never see again. The facility is called Sunset Rehab, an interesting ambiguity; you might be here healing a hip, you might be in God’s waiting room, you might be both. She smiles when she sees me and I kiss her cheek. “How are you, Mom?” I know her body is dying. I’m visiting every morning now, as Doctor Yellin’s last prognosis was, “days, not weeks.” Mom looks smaller than she did yesterday, her skin opaque with a glassy finish. I can see every crooked blue vein in her hands, every tendon, the ominous outline of her skull, and her hollow cheeks. Her blue eyes have become cloudy from cataracts Dr. Yellin suggested ignoring, though even now she has her white roots dyed brown weekly. “I’m fine, Ethan. How are you? How is Eddie?” She hasn’t seen my son in two months. “Okay.” I don’t know how my son is doing. My wife, Laura, just pro- moted her boyfriend, Jack, to husband and stepfather and I have finally learned to text message so I can send Eddie unsolicited and artificially cheerful notes, to which he’s replied with smiley faces.

  • Apocalyptic Survival Video Games
    Running Head: RETURN TO ROOTS ‘Return to Roots’: An Examination of the Re-Presentations of Rurality Within Post- Apocalyptic Survival Video Games by Samantha Reid A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Graduate Department of Criminology in the University of Ontario Institute of Technology © Copyright 2016 by Samantha Reid RETURN TO ROOTS 2 Abstract Post-apocalyptic survival (PAS) themed video games provide a virtual world that re-presents the realities of current society. Current studies have examined the existence of game culture (Aldred & Greenspan, 2011; Atkins, 2006; Kücklich, 2006), but limited analysis has focused on how these cultures relate to their real world counterparts. This study examines the re-presentations of rural culture, violence, and the production of rural stereotypes within PAS video games applying a cultural criminology foundation and elements of social control theory (Hirschi, 1969). Nine video games were examined for their setting; conflict; rural culture/stereotypes; and social structures using content analysis and coding frames. Results that PAS video games provide mixed views of rural life/culture, but skewed depictions of violence and a continual reproduction of socially constructed stereotypes. Keywords: Rural, Video Games Post-Apocalyptic, Survival, Lethal Violence RETURN TO ROOTS 3 Acknowledgements I would like to give a quick thanks to my supervisor, Dr. Steven Downing, and my committee member, Dr. Tanner Mirrlees, for making this possible in the short time frame I provided. Your comments and critiques helped me make this thesis better. A special thanks to Dr. Carla Cesaroni for always supporting my research wherever it took me, and believing that I would finish my Masters eventually.
