Reading for Recovery (R4R): Bibliotherapy for addictions
No full textThe Rutgers Center of Alcohol Studies received a Carnegie-Whitney grant from the American Library Association to build a tool with the purpose of facilitating library resources for creative and informal bibliotherapy. This paper complements the authors’ presentation and workshop at the 2016 conference, where they experimented with a novel interactive format of sharing knowledge to inspire substance abuse librarians to promote bibliotherapy as a potential treatment modality. The two-year project has made a lot of progress to date, such as formulating selection criteria, determining target audiences and choosing the appropriate platforms, designing a vetting process, and compiling a preliminary bibliography. The paper also summarizes a mock bibliotherapy session drawing upon evidence-based practices as the second part of the presentation. Participants read a short text and were encouraged to analyze it based on prefabricated questions and talking points similar to a book club discussion. The authors have benefited tremendously from the conference by building on the collective expertise of the SALIS members.Peer reviewe
Reintroducing Bunky at 125: E.M. Jellinek’s life and contributions to Alcohol Studies
No full textObjective:
Elvin Morton Jellinek (1890–1963) was one of the founders of modern addiction science. This overview is a brief survey of his life and achievements, intended to re-introduce alcohol scholars to his contributions (and possible failings) as well as stimulate interest and historical research in the field.
Method:
The article draws largely from the archival collection of the Rutgers Center of Alcohol Studies (CAS) Library and the Jellinek memorial issue of the CAS Information Services Newsletter. Scholarly works and personal and institutional records by or about E. M. Jellinek were assembled and, when necessary, translated into English.
Results:
Born in 1890 in New York and raised in Hungary, Jellinek studied at several European universities and worked for various institutions and organizations in Budapest (1914–1920), Sierra Leone, Honduras, and at the Worcester State Hospital, in Massachusetts. In 1941 he became an associate professor of applied physiology at Yale University, where he directed the Yale Summer School of Alcohol Studies from 1941 to 1950. After more than a decade of work with the World Health Organization and several Canadian institutions, he taught and conducted research at the Institute for the Study of Human Problems at Stanford University until his death in 1963. Jellinek was a pioneer in research on the nature and causes of alcoholism and was an early proponent of the disease theory of alcoholism.
Conclusions:
With the help of E. M. Jellinek, the modern era of addiction science was launched with an international outlook that included critical attention to the physical infrastructure and intellectual capital needed to form an interdisciplinary field of basic research, applied science, and clinical practice.Peer reviewe

Metal, Money and the Prince - John Buridan and Nicholas Oresme after Thomas Aquinas
No full textThe monetary theories that stem from the works of Thomas Aquinas on the one hand, John Buridan and Nicholas Oresme on the other hand, share common roots: they appear as the result of careful commentaries upon Aristotle's moral and political works. Nonetheless, they differ on both the understanding of money as a measure of values, and on the conditions that allow the emergence of money from a stock of metals which could be, like natural wealth, allocated to different uses. Therefore, they illustrate respectively a “conventional” and a “metalist” theory of money. The question raised by Buridan's and Oresme's political representations is to make them consistent with monetary theories elaborated separately. In this respect, they supplied a composite picture in which the Prince is an essential character. Acting as the efficient cause of money, he is expected to achieve the adjustments required by the real changes affecting money. But the question of the debasements of money gave rise to different lines of answers. While Buridan concluded with an identification of the Prince and the common good, Oresme drew a Prince whose power is partly controlled through adequate institutions and incentives, partly limited by the consequences of his policy choices.Oresme; Buridan; Thomas Aquinas; Thomas d'Aquin; money; monnaie; conventional theory of money; théorie métalliste de la monnaie; metalist theory of money; théorie conventionnelle de la monnaie
