Summary:
PSYCHIATRY. Dr. Drew Pinsky is best known as the cohost of the
long-running radio advice program Loveline. But his workday is spent
at a major Southern California clinic, treating the severest cases of
drug dependency and psychiatric breakdown. In this riveting book,
Pinsky reveals the intimate and often shocking stories of his
patients as they struggle with emotional trauma, sexual abuse, and a
host of chemical nemeses: alcohol, marijuana, Ecstasy, heroin, speed,
cocaine, and prescription drugs. At the center of these stories is
Pinsky himself, who immerses himself passionately, almost
obsessively, in his work. From the sexually compulsive model to the
BMW-driving soccer mom, Cracked exposes, in fast-moving, powerful
vignettes, the true scope and severity of addiction, a nationwide
epidemic.
