Description

The Clinic and Elsewhere: Addiction, Adolescents, and the Afterlife of Therapy This thought-provoking work explores the complexities of addiction and recovery through an in-depth examination of the therapeutic experience. Todd Meyers delves into the ways in which pharmaceutical intervention shapes the lives of adolescents struggling with substance abuse. By following a group of young people as they navigate the clinic system, Meyers reveals the intricate relationships between treatment, care, and societal expectations. This nuanced ethnography sheds light on the often-overlooked aspects of addiction recovery and challenges prevailing notions of success and failure in medical intervention. Through its unique blend of anthropology, philosophy, and sociological insight, The Clinic and Elsewhere offers a compelling critique of the therapeutic economy and its impact on individuals and communities.
