Vomiting and self-harm are habitual and habitual.\u003cbr\u003e Because ‘relief of pain’ functions as a kind of compensation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.68\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMost children in juvenile detention centers and reformatories were ignored, brutally suppressed, and suspected of lying when they told their stories.\u003cbr\u003e When I tried to understand their situation, it seemed like the only way to survive in that environment was to cut my wrists or abuse drugs to numb the pain.\u003cbr\u003e I also wondered if, by becoming insensitive to my own pain, I had become insensitive to the pain of others and had lost my ability to empathize.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.87\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Whenever a heinous juvenile crime occurs, commentators on news shows always make the unsubstantiated claim that “there is a growing number of children who lack a sense of norms.”\u003cbr\u003e They argue that “we need to put more effort into moral education in schools.”\u003cbr\u003e Every time that happens, I think, 'You don't know anything.' \u003cbr\u003eWhy do some people disregard and deviate from community norms?

I can confidently say that the drug that makes people the most violent is alcohol.\u003cbr\u003e Alcohol is behind countless incidents of violent crime, child abuse, domestic violence, dating violence, and car accidents, and the number of incidents is incomparable to that of stimulants. \u003cbr\u003e(...)

absolutely not.”\u003cbr\u003e This is the slogan for drug abuse prevention education implemented in Japanese schools. \u003cbr\u003eWe are taught that one touch of drugs will ruin your life and that drug abusers are 'monsters' and 'people who have given up on being human.'\u003cbr\u003e Near the facility where drug addicts come and go for rehabilitation, posters opposing the facility are plastered all over the town.\u003cbr\u003e Celebrities who have drug problems are not even protected from basic human rights.\u003cbr\u003e This attitude toward drug addiction is similar in our society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, the author points out that this type of education is different from reality and only promotes prejudice against drug addiction.\u003cbr\u003e The social climate that rejects drug addiction isolates those affected and leads them to make more extreme choices.\u003cbr\u003e The author emphasizes that drug addiction is a disease, not a crime, and that patients with drug addiction need appropriate treatment and support to help them reintegrate into society, not harsh punishment. \u003cbr\u003eBased on long-term clinical experience, the author points out that patients with pathological problems such as drug dependence, self-harm, and eating disorders commonly have severe trauma and isolation.\u003cbr\u003e Those who have memories they want to erase, such as a harsh upbringing, discrimination and violence at home and school, and sexual violence, cannot rely on anyone and endure the pain alone, turning to drugs, binge eating, and injuring their bodies.\u003cbr\u003e That is, they maintain an 'unhealthy state' in order to somehow survive without dying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author says that this phenomenon of driving oneself into a pathological state in order to survive is not something that only happens to a small number of sick people.\u003cbr\u003e The author himself confesses that he relied on caffeine drugs to focus on his studies during his college years and that he became pathologically addicted to gaming to endure the helplessness of the difficult treatment for his addiction. \u003cbr\u003eThe author says many people are obsessed with useless hobbies and eating overly spicy food, simply balancing out their tough daily lives with \"unhealthy\" activities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFrom my encounter with a violent circle during middle school\u003cbr\u003e To this day, I am the leading authority on drug addiction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the beginning of the book, the author recalls that his clinical addiction began fatefully during his time in a middle school dominated by violent circles.\u003cbr\u003e At a school where violence between students and teachers was rampant, the author, as a student council member, played a role in persuading students from a violent circle who were addicted to cigarettes and thinner.\u003cbr\u003e A friend who was a special relationship but who could not break up with him in the end followed the author like a ghost throughout his medical career, and the author developed a special affection for young addicts and 'juvenile delinquents'.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn addition to drug addiction, the book also features unforgettable anecdotes from patients he has met over the past 25 years of his medical career, including those with depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative identity disorder, self-harm, and suicide.\u003cbr\u003e By encountering atypical patients not found in medical textbooks—patients who use illegal drugs to support their families and endure excessive work, people who jump off bridges to take their own lives while gazing at the lights of human society, and patients who inject themselves with bacteria to deal with past trauma—the author begins to break away from the treatment methods long followed by psychiatry and focus on the individual lives of patients.\u003cbr\u003e Even though he is now a leading authority on addiction, the author still calls himself a \"patient helper.\"\u003cbr\u003e And he says he has been fighting against society by constantly challenging its prejudice against addiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe person who makes things difficult may be the one who is having a hard time.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe opposite of dependence is not sobriety, but connection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author, who was at a loss due to having no knowledge about drug addiction treatment, reached a turning point when he met a self-help group for drug addiction patients.\u003cbr\u003e A patient who had been banned from entering the hospital for using drugs was able to stay off drugs for several months by interacting with other patients at the meeting.\u003cbr\u003e Through that incident, the author realized that what a person with dependence, a person who cannot depend on others, needs is someone they can lean on, and decided to learn about dependence from the person with dependence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author experiences something similar in a juvenile correctional facility. \u003cbr\u003eThe 'juvenile delinquents' he met while treating patients as a contract doctor were criminals such as biker gang leaders, arsonists, sexual harassers, and extortionists. However, as he listened to their life stories, the author learned that they too were victims of severe violence at home and at school.\u003cbr\u003e Children who said they couldn't trust anyone open their hearts and confess their innermost feelings despite the author's insignificant response and sympathy.\u003cbr\u003e Those children also went in the wrong direction because they were not able to connect with people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author says that those who are often criticized for disrupting and causing inconvenience to society may actually be the ones who are suffering the most.\u003cbr\u003e “The person who makes it difficult may be the one who is having a hard time.”\u003cbr\u003e The author points out that the reason some people disregard and deviate from community norms is “because they do not trust the community.” \u003cbr\u003eThe author's argument that we should listen to the pain they endure rather than unconditionally condemning those who commit crimes and turning them into criminals will provide a refreshing shock even to Korean society, which is rife with punitive measures.\u003cbr\u003e The author quotes author Johann Hari, who said, “The opposite of dependence is not sobriety, but connection,” and says that society, as well as medical care, must support patients with dependence so that they do not become isolated but connect with others.\u003cbr\u003e This book garnered immediate attention upon its publication in Japan, winning the 70th Japan Essayist Club Award and being selected as one of the \"Kinokuniya Humanities Award 2022 Humanities Books Best 4.\" \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 7, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264 pages | 322g | 135*205*20mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791191716191\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1191716198 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894437773354,"sku":"141111","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/63ae872408afbd9437c473c632d9eedf.jpg?v=1765433414","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/141111","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
