At trappe ud af psykofarmaka – eller psykiatrisk medicin – er ofte en sværere og mere krævende proces, end man forventer.

Bogen er vigtig læsning for alle, der skal igennem et udtrapningsforløb, og for professionelle, der arbejder med mennesker, der er i udtrapning.

When sex and drugs are combined repeatedly and compulsively, there is a high risk of developing what Dr. David Fawcett calls sexualized drug use. This condition is also referred to as paired substance/sex addiction. Unfortunately, the response from the professional community to sexualized drug use has been far from adequate.
