Rowdy,

He has left us for now, and this mail was not read until too late I’m afraid, but we can talk next week.

 

Talk to you later,

Anthony

Anthony

 

I've had a fair few requests recently for these. I've written to Rod and George about the possibility of Scottish Addiction Studies marketing a European version of the set. If George is still there with you, you might want to run it by him. We'd need to agree costs and so on, but it would be fairly easy to do the practical aspects. Speak to you Sunday.

Hei Carsten,

Thanks, it was good to see you again; it’s been a long time.

 

I’ll send you the details regarding the DVD’s; they have to be ordered from Rod Mullen at Amity Foundation in the USA. Rowdy also has the information I think.

 

But, if you have Rod’s mailing address you can contact him direct.

I sent a mail to Kessel, last night, as the evaluation tools is not or I couldn’t find them on the NDRI web site, as free downloads. But if you have them already, that’s good.

 

Today is the last day for us with George, this time, so we hope to move forward a little more.

Talk to you later,

 

Have a nice break,

Best wishes,

Tony

Hello Robbie,

 

It’s good to hear from you again, sorry to hear about the diabetes, so take good care of yourself.  There is only one Robbie!

 

There are a number of additional DVD’s available, by Rod Mullen (how to improve encounter groups) lot’s of interesting footage from the old synannon days, as a comparison to the century.

The 3 that you refer to are the “Community as Method, theory, model and method”, we use them here and find the information very useful. I also have a large number of new staff, so we are no doubt in the same boat, still as we say, you alone can do it, but you can’t do it alone.

 

Today we are on the final day of 5 days training with George at Phoenix House Haga, which has been very good, I have to run now or the old codger will tell me off for being late!

 

Talk to you later, take care

 

Anthony

Robbie,

George is with us at Phoenix this week; I’m just going to pick him up now. I can also contact Rod Mullen, if Rowdy needs some assistance.

Which DVS’s do you want?

 

Anthony

 Hi rowdy

 Interested in a copy of Alexl Klein book , could you let me know the publishers.

Talked to George at the ATCA conference about his training DVDs , still no luck with Aminty, but he suggested that you might be able to acquire a copy.

 

All the best

Robbie

Hi.  I have been asked by Axel Klein to circulate details of his new book:

“Drugs and the World”
An anthropological approach to the study of psychoactive drugs
London: Reaktion
 
Conventionally, studies in the drugs field focus on some form of medical or social pathology, from addiction to organised crime. Yet drugs also play a constructive role, from their centrality in religious rituals to their part in the growth of trade among nation-states. The book then moves on to investigate the modern policies that define certain substances as drugs; the link between drugs, addiction, and crime; and the prevailing control regime around the world that has largely failed to control global drug trafficking. Drawing on studies from the Caribbean, West Africa and Eastern Europe the book proposes solutions that could reinforce the eroded power of state institutions, law enforcement, and the democratic process in addressing drug trafficking.

Axel Klein is a social anthropologist by training, who has conducted fieldwork on drug related issues in different parts of the world. He is now working at the Centre for Health Service Studies at the University of Kent.
