Twisted: Inside the Mind of a Drug Addict (Developments in Clinical Psychiatry)

"Twisted" takes the reader in to the heart of the addictive experience. Richmond presents a firsthand autobiographical account of the hero's descent into the madness of chemical dependency and subsequent resurrection via the recovery process of the 12-step programme. In contrast to the often dry clinical treatises about addiction and dependency, "Twisted" vividly portrays the experience of drug addiction, and is useful reading for those whose life is touched by alcohol or substance abuse.
