Poet, author and performer PETER RABBIT passed away peacefully at his home in Taos, New Mexico, on Saturday morning, October 27, 2012.
Writing and performing since his teens, Rabbit’s voice was heard in American poetry and communitarian movements for over six decades. He performed and lectured at universities, museums, bars, strip clubs, coffee shops and bookstores all over the U.S. and Canada, including the Corcoran National Gallery, Chicago Art Institute, Colombia University, University of Massachusetts, University of Toronto, Cooper Union, Peoples Poetry Gathering, Bumbershoot Festival, Colorado College, Southern Illinois University, Colorado College, Oklahoma State University, University of Kansas, Washington University, Cranbrook Academy, Missouri State University, Western Michigan University, Ft. Worth Art Museum, Albuquerque Art Museum, University of New Mexico and others.
As a founding light of the commune movement in the mid-60s, he was instrumental in the establishment of the intentional communities of New Buffalo, Drop City South, Tawapa and the Lama Foundation, and co-founded Libre, the artists’ commune in Colorado.
He authored six books of poetry and nonfiction and numerous essays. His memoir Drop City (Olympia Press 1971), styled as a folktale, is an underground classic. It covers his participation in the Southwest’s first commune, the art colony located outside of Trinidad, Colorado, that received Bucky Fuller’s Dymaxion Award in 1966 “for poetically economic structural achievement.”
Rabbit wanted to be remembered as the Don King of poetry. Relentlessly promoting poets and their work since the 1950s, he co-founded the Taos Poetry Circus, S.O.M.O.S., Minor Heron and the World Poetry Bout Association. He was involved with Grouper Press, the International Poetry Bout Association, Lucid Performance and the creation of numerous “poetry bouts.”
Born Peter Lawton Douthit on October 8, 1936, in Bradford, near the oil region of Pennsylvania at the end of the Great Depression, he attended high school in Owensboro, Kentucky, on the Ohio River. He took courses in numerous colleges including Wabash College, University of Kentucky, Texas Wesleyan College and North Texas State University, studying writing and literature, but never completed a degree.
He studied poetry with Charles Olson at Black Mountain College, performed at the legendary Five Spot in New York and continued a poetry/jazz tradition that began in the 1940s and flourished in the Beat era of the ‘50s. Rabbit first lived in Taos in 1954 along with poets and writers of that time, Ed Abbey, Frank Waters, Judson Crews, Richard Duerden, and Max Finstein.
With his wife and partner, poet and performer Anne MacNaughton, he founded the jazz/poetry ensemble The Luminous Animal in the early 80s and could be seen in his role as Master of Ceremonies at World Heavyweight Championship Poetry Bouts during that event’s two-decade run.
Over the years he lectured and published on alternate lifestyles, expanded states of consciousness, and appropriate technology and architecture. In 1972 he served as a technical advisor to Congress’ National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse.
He worked as book review editor for the Ft Worth Star Telegram, travel writer for the St. Petersburg Times, and hosted a poetry show on local radio. His work has appeared in numerous anthologies, periodicals and small magazines, including The Olympia Reader, Thus Spake the Corpse, City Lights Journal, Art in America, Architectural Design, Shelter, The Whole Earth Catalogue, Foot, Wordworks, The Exquisite Corpse and many more.
In addition to his work as a poet, author and community innovator, he was a was a merchant seaman, commercial fisherman, head chef, food and beverage manager, fundraiser, teacher, tutor, substance abuse counselor, house parent, census enumerator, organic farmer, bartender, book store clerk, motel desk clerk, pig farmer, horticulturist, an ordained bishop in the Universal Life Church, and much more. He had lived in the rural Southwest a long time and knew well how to do whatever it took to make a living.

We should let Jefferson speak for himself:
"To the corruptions of Christianity I am indeed, opposed; but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus himself. I am a Christian, in the only sense in which he wished any one to be; sincerely attached to his doctrines, in preference to all others; ascribing to himself every human excellence; and believing he never claimed any other." (1803 April 21. Letter Of Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Rush).
"I too have made a wee little book, from the same materials, which I call the Philosophy of Jesus. it is a paradigma of his doctrines, made by cutting the texts out of the book, and arranging them on the pages of a blank book, in a certain order of time or subject. a more beautiful or precious morsel of ethics I have never seen. it is a document in proof that I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus, very different from the Platonists, who call me infidel… (1816 January 9. Letter Of Thomas Jefferson to Charles Thomson).

In a captivating episode of America Unhinged, host Jeff Dornik is joined by the enigmatic Carl Crew, whose great-uncle, Jerry Crew, played a pivotal role in the emergence of one of the most enduring mysteries in American folklore—Bigfoot. Together, they delve into the fascinating tale of Jerry Crew, the man who not only coined the term “Bigfoot” but also secured the first plaster print of the mythical creature’s footprints. The episode serves as a captivating exploration of fact and fiction surrounding the legendary creature.
The episode kicks off by immersing listeners in the historical backdrop of Jerry Crew’s encounter with the elusive Bigfoot. Carl Crew, possessing a unique familial connection to this iconic figure, shares personal insights and family anecdotes that breathe life into the story. The conversation navigates through the intricacies of Jerry Crew’s involvement in the Bigfoot phenomenon, separating the true narrative from the embellishments that have fueled the myth over the years.
Jeff Dornik skillfully guides the discussion, ensuring a balance between intrigue and critical examination. The hosts take on the task of unraveling the layers of the Bigfoot legend, questioning the authenticity of various claims and shedding light on the historical context that gave birth to this enduring mystery. As they sift through the details, listeners are treated to a nuanced and well-informed perspective on the origins of the Bigfoot myth.
One of the strengths of the episode lies in its commitment to presenting the facts surrounding Jerry Crew’s encounter and the subsequent cultural explosion of the Bigfoot phenomenon. Carl Crew’s personal connection adds a layer of authenticity to the narrative, offering listeners a rare glimpse into the life of a man whose name became synonymous with the mysterious creature lurking in the shadows of the American wilderness.
The hosts tackle common misconceptions and popularized narratives about Bigfoot, encouraging listeners to engage critically with the information surrounding this cultural phenomenon. By discerning between fact and fiction, Jeff Dornik and Carl Crew provide a valuable service to those eager to separate reality from the fantastical.
In the true spirit of America Unhinged, this episode transcends mere storytelling. It invites listeners to explore the broader implications of folklore and cultural myths in shaping the collective consciousness of a nation. The episode not only entertains but prompts a deeper reflection on how stories, even those as captivating as Bigfoot’s, contribute to the rich tapestry of American culture.
In conclusion, the collaboration between Jeff Dornik and Carl Crew on America Unhinged delivers an enthralling episode that transcends the boundaries of mere speculation. Through meticulous examination and thoughtful storytelling, the hosts navigate the audience through the true story of Jerry Crew and Bigfoot, leaving listeners with a newfound appreciation for the interplay between myth, reality, and the enduring mysteries that make America truly unhinged.

A review of Cahoots, in the November 1, 2011 issue:
Aldo is a technophile who enjoys playing online sim games. His latest favorite is “Farm Town,” which is ironic because a trip to an actual farm is what his parents have planned for their family vacation. This means trading in their electronics for hay baling and butter making but it also seems as though Aldo’s twin cousins have it in for him. Are they in cahoots about something? A blend of a graphic novel and a journal, this series can be used for building a glossary of words with the same initial letter. This “C” volume, which comes on the heels of Artsy-Fartsy (2009) and Bogus (2010, both Bailiwick) brings in “cockamamie,” “cagey,” “calligraphy,” and “clomping.” Featured words have an asterisk in the text and are defined in the gallery at the back. This gimmick does not get in the way of the enjoyment of the story. An extra bonus is a feature on the word “cryptophasia,” also known as “twin speak.” This book will appeal to kids not yet ready for the middle-school life portrayed in Jeff Kinney’s “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series (Abrams) but who have aged out of the irreverent potty humor of Dav Pilkey’s “Captain Underpants” series (Scholastic).
–Kathleen Meulen Ellison, Sakai Intermediate School, Bainbridge Island, WA
“The Aldo Zelnick books are edgy without being snarky, educational without being pedantic or heavy-handed, and full of celebratory humor and visual jokes.” — Peggy Durbin, owner, Otowi Station Bookstore and Science Museum Shop, Los Alamos, New Mexico
“Quid Novi” means “what’s new,” and this contest aspires to recognize quality book design and content as well as creativity and innovation. We’re delighted to deliver the news that Dumbstruck, the fourth book in the alphabetical Aldo Zelnick Comic Novel Series, took first prize in the 2011 Quid Novi book awards! Karla accepted on behalf of Bailiwick Press at the Quid Novi Festival on Saturday, October 22nd.
Welp, cantankerous Cahoots captured silver in the Comic/Graphic Novel category of the 2011 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards, whose mission is “to bring increased recognition to exemplary children’s books and their creators, and to celebrate children’s books and life-long reading.” Huzzah to Cahoots but especially to life-long reading!
Happily, Artsy-Fartsy has been recommended by yet another librarian, this time Katy Manck of Gilmer, Texas. We’re getting more and more fond of the Lone Star State every day.
Mary Lee Hahn, teacher and children’s literature blogger extraordinaire (not to mention chair of the National Council of Teachers of English Notable Books committee), had this to say about Dumbstruck. The feeling is mutual, Mary Lee!
Did you know that Dumbstruck introduces a new classmate of Aldo’s who happens to be deaf? His name is Danny. When we learned that Dr. Sharon Pajka, an English professor at Gallaudet University (the world-renowned college for the deaf and hard of hearing), writes a blog called “Deaf Characters in Adolescent Literature,” we contacted her to ask if she’d review Dumbstruck. She did…and she loved it. (Squeee!)
Katherine Sokolowski—one of our favorite 5th grade teachers (even though we’ve never met her for reals) because she cares so much about kids reading AND she loves the Aldo Zelnick series —says that her students will be “beyond excited” to learn that Dumbstruck is now available.
Internationally acclaimed children’s play expert Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D., a.k.a. Dr. Toy, just announced that she has chosen Cahoots as one of the 100 Best Children’s Products of 2011! Her team also selected Cahoots as #2 in the Top 10 Educational Products of 2011.
We’re deeply honored that Cahoots has joined the ranks of some of the world’s most amazing books and toys from companies like Fat Brain, K’NEX, Hasbro, LEGO, Gryphon House and many others.
In compiling her annual lists, Dr. Toy looks for lasting play value and product applicability to children’s active, creative and educational experiences.


The new book series “The Science and Art of Simulation” (SAS) addresses computer simulations as a scientific activity and engineering artistry (in the sense of a technē). The first volume is devoted to three topics:
1. The Art of Exploring Computer Simulations
Philosophy began devoting attention to computer simulations at a relatively early stage. Since then, the unquestioned point of view has been that computer simulation is a new scientific method; the philosophy of simulation is therefore part of the philosophy of science. The first section of this volume discusses this implicit, unchallenged assumption by addressing, from different perspectives, the question of how to explore (and how not to explore) research on computer simulations. Scientists discuss what is still lacking or considered problematic, while philosophers draft new directions for research, and both examine the art of exploring computer simulations.
2. The Art of Understanding Computer Simulations
The results of computer simulations are integrated into both political and social decisions. It is implicitly assumed that the more detailed, and consequently more realistic, a computer simulation is, the more useful it will be in decision-making. However, this idea is by no means justified. Different types of computer simulations have to be differentiated, which in turn requires the specific skill of understanding computer simulation results. The articles in this section examine the capabilities and limits of simulation results in political and social contexts, exploring the art of understanding computer simulation results.
3. The Art of Knowing through Computer Simulations?
The advent of computer simulation in today’s scientific practices challenges the order of science. What kind of knowledge is gained through computer simulations is the key question in this section. Computer simulations are often compared to experiments or to arguments, and the transformation of our traditional scientific notions might be more challenging than expected – these Ideas are put forward in the third section to conceptualize the art of knowing through computer simulations.

Drawing on such research, as well as literary scholars' discussions of parallels between Renaissance poetics and technics, I suggest that further inquiries into the role of technology in Andrew Marvell's poetry may yield new insights into his depiction of nature, his politics, and the relation of the two.

Summer Reading - Part One
Summer is a time for lazy days and reading. (Much to my children's dismay) They have a list of books they have to read, I end up with a list of books I finally have time to read. This year I added to my list one of my incoming high schoolers "have to read" books. Do Hard Things, by Brett and Alex Harris - was one of the most inspirational books I have read in quite sometime. This is a book by teens, for teens and it challenges them to make hard choices, to follow their passion, and to go against what modern day society says is the standard. They encourage teens to raise the bar to go beyond what society says is exceptional and really rise to the calling that God has placed before them. As I read this book, I was elated and saddened - elated that some "boys" were able to inspire so much passion and saddened that I had missed opportunities - that I didn't read this book when I was 15. I finished the book with my own list of "hard things" and how I might approach them, I also walked away from that finished book with a revelation that growing up in the 80's as a teenager was a strange time. As youth we were not challenged by society, we were able to party and just get by - until "ya know" we had to be responsible. I distinctly remember my 25th birthday and remembering that it was very difficult for me - I was now at the age when I had to decide what to do with my life - I now had to be an adult and be responsible. Not that I didn't have some responsible acts as a teenager - I was class president, went to girls state, was a senate page - made good grades -received a college scholarship - but all of these were things I chose to do - society didn't expect anything of me. Faced with the age of 25 I knew now there would be expectations. Oh, how it would have been great to approach the age of 25, 30 and even 40 having stood with a group of peers that knew how to make hard decisions and accomplish the hard things.
I think as someone in their mid 40's I lived in a strange time - it was the time of do whatever - have fun you'll have to be responsible soon enough. It was the time of both parents or all four working. There was dot.com money and there was a stock market climbing out of control. Not only were we living in a time when we were not required to be responsible we were living in a time when our parents were able to say - finally we have arrived and I am going to make life easy for you, don't you worry about it.
Is it no wonder we have parents in their 70's still working full time jobs and 30's somethings still living in the basement? Or currently, I have seen first hand several mid-life crisis breakdowns. Life was easy, we had no responsibility, we played at being grown up but never truly made the hard choice. Now faced with society and an economy on the brink of complete meltdown, the let's-do-lunch and go-golf-six- figure jobs have diminished and we personally are faced with "doing the hard thing".
Oh, if my 15 year old can even get a little out of this book and make one hard choice and feel the exhilaration that comes from reaching out and going beyond what is expected, what is demanded, or what is the easiest way to get the job done - he will be one step closer to possibly be in a better situation when the true "Hard Times" come.
I highly recommend Do Hard Things, by Brett and Alex Harris for anyone who was a teenager, will be one or who has one. Be encouraged, Be passionate, Be inspired. www.therebelution.com

Four teams of collegiate cyclists compete for championship glory in the Little 500. A year’s worth of training and pure pride are on the line in a single race where victory is measured in inches.
One Day in April is a feature-length documentary that chronicles the triumphs and failures of two men’s and two women’s collegiate cyclist teams trying to win the Little 500. Directed by filmmaker and native Hoosier Thomas Miller, “One Day in April” is a bittersweet portrait of athletic competition in its purest, unadulterated form. . Shot in an intimate cinema vérité style that highlights the struggles and failures of four teams of riders in the Little 500, the expansive narrative of friendship, failure, and redemption plays out across a cast of characters that includes grizzled veterans, rookies trying to find their spot and coaches who work hard and remain devoted to the Little 500.
At a time when collegiate athletics is navigating an increasingly uncomfortable intersection of profit and competition, the Little 500 remains an example of pure sport in America’s heartland. Through the stories of the men and women who make up the Little 500 community, “One Day in April” is a testament to the virtue that sports can demonstrate and the role they play in forging kinships rarely savored otherwise.


“Seminare. Learned Investigations” is a scientific journal published since 1975 by the Francis de Sales Scientific Society (TNFS). It aims at presenting the results of research in various fields of human sciences and promoting the ideas and research concepts inspired by the humanism of Francis de Sales. This unique representative of the European Renaissance, Bishop of Geneva, patron of scholars and journalists is still a symbol of open dialogue and search for truth.
Although “Seminare” first appeared on the initiative and within the circle of the Salesian Society, it has since acquired the character of a nationwide environment undertaking interdisciplinary research on human being and his socio-cultural determinants with particular emphasis on the process of upbringing and education. The Editorial Policy of “Seminare” is currently directed at establishing the journal’s global significance through internationalization of the Editorial Board and the Scientific Council, increasing the contribution of authors representing foreign science and research centers, publication of texts in German, Italian, Russian and French and of one issue per year entirely in English. It is through these initiatives that “Seminare” aims at creating a broad humanistic environment for reflection on human being, but also strives towards becoming a significant voice in the contemporary dispute about human being.
Since 2014, the periodical has been published as a quarterly. In the last evaluation of Polish scientific journals in 2015, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education awarded “Seminare” the maximum of fifteen points. The periodical is published in print (ISSN 1232-8766) and online (e-ISSN 2450-1328) of which the printed version is original.
The editors endeavor to ensure high-quality of published texts through a transparent and thorough process of reviewing articles, monitoring their compliance with ethical principles and preventing violation of intellectual property rights. This is enabled by an interactive system for the management of peer-reviewed journals, the Open Journal System, implemented as part of the periodical’s computerization process. The periodical was the first in Poland to adapt the latest version of OJS 3.x to Polish.
The Editorial Board of “Seminare” provides free access to full versions of all published volumes. The journal is indexed in the following databases:
- Central European Journal of Social Siences and Humanities (CEJSH)
- Central and Eastern European Online Library (CEEOL)
- Index Copernicus (IC)

Dissemination of research findings through digitization of “Seminare. Learned investigations.”
- Project financed in the framework of the contract no. 504/P-DUN/2016 from the funds of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education earmarked for public understanding of science initiatives.
“Seminare. Learned investigations” as the first journal in the world has undertaken to adapt the latest OJS v. 3.x to Polish as part of its progressing computerization and digitization process.
The process consisted of:
- developing a Polish language version (translation and modification of approximately 100 system files)
- setting up the “Seminare” journal in the OJS 3.x system
- establishing permanent cooperation with the system community and developers - Public Knowledge Project (forums, social networks)
The 3.x version of the Open Journal System has been developed based on concepts and ideas of the web users community worldwide as well as trends that have appeared in the web after 2005 and which are still relevant today.
The former version of the system (Open Journal System v. 2.4), currently used by over 10 thousand journals worldwide has become obsolete with time. It lacked an intuitive character and, most importantly, it was not responsive for mobile devices (smartphones and tablets). It is worth mentioning that in 2013, the global number of journal views on the Internet exceeded 50% on mobile devices.
The new system facilitates management of online journal publication beginning with the author’s submission process, through the review process, to the control and coordination of the editorial workflow progress.


A year of reading from home
Trying to get rid of my TBR again
I’m definitely not planning to read only from home, I know myself too well for this. I know there’ll still be library books and e-books, especially from my e-book subscription. Also, I always read on my e-reader in bed and that’s what’s always in my bag. Nevertheless I’ll be trying to read all the books lingering on my study’s floor and various bookshelves. There are 109 of them (actually 107 at the moment, as two are on their way to me) so I should be able to read all of them this year. Especially that I expect to DNF a few as some were probably never for me and some stayed too long on my TBR pile and are not for me anymore.
I’ve first set up a goal of 45 books from my TBR for this year. As I looked at the unread books on the floor, I realised that there are too many and I need to make teh oiles smaller this year. I went for 45 as I’ll be turning 45 this year, it seemed like a nice number. And then I’ve made the list of all the books and decided that 45 wasn’t enough. That I need to get rid of my TBR all together.
I miss buying books and reading them (almost) immediately. That’s why I’m reading so many library books lately. I can’t put them on a pile and forget about them. It’s a kind of substitution for buying books, because I want to read them now.
I did it with my birthday books. It was such a joy to read them directly after receiving them. Not adding them to the piles, but enjoying the stories I’ve chosen in this moment. Because when I choose to buy a book, it’s because something in this story is appealing to me now, so it should also be read now.
I want more of this in my life, of the simple joy of reading the stories that appeal to me in the moment, without any feeling of guilt about the books that have been waiting to be read for ages.
So here we go again with a year of reading from home. In a hope that the second attempt will be more succesful than the first one. It’s not going to be easy to achieve this goal, especially with my library job and quite a few chunksters waiting on those piles, but I certainly hope to get to them all.
What is your TBR situation?

Fostering inclusion in gentrifying neighborhoods (rather than opening up exclusive suburbs) is the focus of four working papers released today by the Joint Center for Housing Studies. Originally presented at the Center's symposium on A Shared Future: Fostering Communities of Inclusion in an Era of Inequality, the papers focus on a variety of struggles for responding to gentrification taking place in a growing number of once-poor (and largely minority) urban neighborhoods. The promising approaches discussed by the authors include creating more permanently-affordable housing in changing neighborhoods, ensuring that existing low-income and minority residents have a greater voice in local decisions, developing policies that give long-term residents access to affordable homeownership options in their neighborhoods, and carrying out research that would help policymakers design and implement better policies for addressing key issues.

Welcome to the webpage for the City of Placerville's Historic City Hall!
The building was originally constructed as the Confidence Engine Company No. 1, a volunteer fire company. They originally began as the Mountaineer Engine Company on May 22, 1857, but changed their name in June after they purchased a used fire engine, named "Confidence" and found they were unable to remove the engraving. The original engine hall had been damaged by fire in September 1860, and the present building was built in fall of that same year. The fund-raising balls held by the company were a local hit and in the late 1890s, the building was used for early meetings of Placerville's Seventh-day Adventist Church. The building has also served as the police department, jail and a court house. There were even some instances where Confidence Hall was used as the venue for the El Dorado County Fair.
In 1902, the building was established as City Hall for the City of Placerville, located on the first floor. The Placerville City Library, the first public library in the county, occupied the 2nd floor of the building beginning in 1906. The space was also shared by the Placerville City Clerk's Office and separated by a gate which was opened only after the Clerk had finished his work. The library remained on the second floor until 1947, after which the was used fully as Placerville's City Hall until 2005.
The adjacent structure with a wooden balcony is known at the Immigrant Jane Building, named after Jane Stuart. Build in 1861, Immigrant Jane Stuart funded its construction by driving a herd of horses across the Great Plains and selling them to a local dealer.
Confidence Hall and the Immigrant Jane Building share a common wall and an interior hallway and door that have been utilized as a single tenant office. Both are listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) since January 4, 1982.

We are working with the Friends of the Dallas Public Library to raise money to buy books for DISD ninth and tenth graders through The Big Read Dallas program. Our goal is to harness the generosity of D friends and families to purchase 18,500 books for a reading program that will be conducted in 2013. Simon & Schuster is giving us a huge discount on Fahrenheit 451, but we have to place our order this fall. Please (please, please) consider a donation. If you give $25 or more, the Communities Foundation of Texas will match a portion of that today only from 7 a.m. to midnight. If you have friends, co-workers, entire companies, or social friends who might want to give books to our DISD kids, send this around. Every $5 buys a book. Five bucks, folks. Let’s do this!

“Oh beautiful, for spacious skies – for amber waves of grain.” Have you ever been so struck by the beauty of the world around you that you had to pause, take a moment, and write down the words that have sprung into your mind expressing your thoughts, as if in some effort to solidify what you felt in that moment? Well, perhaps not, if you do not identify as a writer; but as I do ascribe unto myself as being somewhat of a writer, I relate to Katharine Lee Bates, author of “America the Beautiful.”
As many hymns do, “America the Beautiful” originated as a poem that was not set to music, originally titled “Pikes Peak.” A professor of English literature at Wellesley College, she taught for a brief time during the summer of 1893 at Colorado College. Upon making the trek up to Pike’s Peak, she was struck by the beauty of the view around her from her vantage point. Seeing “purple mountain majesties” is enough to make almost anyone pause, even for just a moment, to reflect on the world around them. Fueled by a love for her country, the patriotic poem was written as soon as she returned to her hotel room.

Addiction Specialists at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas Reveal Discovery in New Book|
DALLAS — As Sandy Mullen, R.N., and Cathy Napier began comparing notes and observations about patients they were caring for in the eating disorders unit at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas, a surprising discovery surfaced: the seemingly successful treatment of a patient’s primary addiction often fed the growth of another, hidden addiction.
Sandy Mullen, R.N.
Click image to download hi-res file.
After reviewing hundreds of cases, Mullen, an eating disorders specialist at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas, and Napier, former director of Presbyterian’s chemical dependency program, have authored a new book about their findings, Swinging Door of Addiction: A Spiritual Guide to Recovery. The book gives readers an inside glimpse into the world of dual addictions, substance abuse and eating disorders.
The authors will host a book signing at 7 p.m., Nov. 14, at Borders Book Store in West Village.
“These patients were struggling with numerous addictions, each addiction relying on another,” Mullen said. “We were seeing eating disorder patients we sent home healthy, coming back over and over again — worse off than when they left treatment. The secret they all had was that their chemical addictions were feeding their eating disorders.”
Swinging Door of Addiction is an invitation for people with these problems to start looking at their lives and journaling about their recovery, Mullen said.
“It’s to get them started on their life’s journey to recovery.”
The book is featured in this year’s Gurze catalogue, the preeminent scientific catalogue in the field of eating disorders.
“The problem is that many treatment programs regard eating disorders and chemical dependencies as separate and distinct problems,” Mullen said. “The issues are then dealt with separately and with different methods. But we’ve found that the best way to treat these patients is through combined therapy for both problems at the same time.”
The book’s conversational style and workbook-type format aims to help those struggling with a dual addiction. It is currently being used in the juvenile justice system in New Mexico to help young mothers in jail because of drugs.
Swinging Door of Addiction also has a spiritual aspect, making use of the 12-step approach of Alcoholics Anonymous and encouraging readers to get to know themselves with quotes for meditation and questions to answer at the end of each chapter, Napier said.
Readers are encouraged to write their own stories about recovery from dual addiction. The authors also share the stories of past patients and their recoveries from dual addictions. One story the authors highlight is the case of a young woman who sought treatment for an eating disorder in the program. The woman had discovered that pills, in the form of amphetamines, almost entirely eliminated her appetite.
She became dangerously thin because of the eating disorder and in the process acquired a chemical dependence, a “hidden addiction.”
“The significant experience Cathy and Sandy have with these patients and their breadth of knowledge on the subject give them a perspective that we can all learn from,” said Dr. Jim Harris, director of the eating disorders program at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. “The readers of this book get to share in this and learn from two experts on the subject. It’s not only a book for people dealing with dual addictions but also the families and friends of people struggling with this disease.”
Swinging Door of Addiction includes a forward by country music star Naomi Judd. The authors give special thanks to Dallas psychiatrists Sandy Steinbach and Lynn Markle.
Mullen has been in psychiatric nursing for 22 years and is a licensed chemical dependency counselor for the state of Texas. Napier is currently an adjunct professor of psychology at Central New Mexico College and treats patients in private practice.
The Nov. 14th book signing is open to the public. Borders Book Store is located at the West Village at 3600 McKinney Ave., Dallas, 75204.
