En ny, opdateret udgave af den barske klassiker I morgen er det slut om Christiane F. og hendes liv som purung stofmisbruger.I morgen er det slut er en dokumentarisk fortælling om Christiane Felscherinow, der som 12-årig begynder at ryge hash i den lokale ungdomsklub og året efter er dybt afhængig af heroin. Da det endelig lykkedes Christiane F. at blive stoffri, fortæller hun råt og ærligt sin historie til to journalister, hvor hun afslører, at hun efter skoletid måtte trække i Berlins gader for at skaffe penge til stoffer.Historien er en detaljeret skildring af Christianes evige og modstridende kamp om at komme ud af sin afhængighed og tjene penge til sit næste fix.I 1979 udkom hendes historie med titlen "Wir Kindern vom Bahnhof Zoo" der hurtigt blev en bestseller. Den udkom første gang på dansk i 1981.Bogen (og senere filmen) sendte chokbølger gennem det meste af Vesteuropa, fordi den afslørede, at der blandt de mange misbrugere i narkomiljøet var kommet en generation af purunge narkomaner, der stadig bare var store børn.

En dør, der er forseglet og aldrig forsøgt åbnet, lirkes med største forsigtighed på klem. Ud af den lille sprække vælter råddenskab, vold, afmagt – og frem for alt: en altædende ensomhed. ”De var bundet sammen med kæder, og længst ude, hvor blikket næsten ikke kunne nå, så han omridset af en færge, som trak byens både væk fra havnen. Der var ingen bevægelse i det, og måske, tænkte han, er det her et maleri, som jeg på én eller anden måde er fanget i.” Jacob, blandt venner kaldet Frost, er en ung dreng, hvis drømme, illusioner og håb forsvinder. Tilbage er et liv i skyggen med tæsk og overfald. Lys, kærlighed og venner der aldrig svigter siver også ud af den lille sprække, men er det sandt, at kærlighed kan overvinde alt? Er det nok til at holde livet i gang? Gespenst er en roman om, hvordan livet ser ud de steder, hvor ingen kigger, dér hvor få har adgang, og dér hvor håbet siver hen, når det forsvinder.

LSD, MDMA, ketamin og psilocybin er i dag illegale stoffer.Men i 1960-erne og 1970-erne var de selv samme stoffer at betragte som medicin, og læger og psykoterapeuter brugte dem til at behandle PTSD, depression og andre alvorlige psykiske lidelser.Men som følge af krigen mod stoffer, blev denne gren af lægevidenskaben lukket ned.I dag er vi godt i gang med en psykedelisk renæssance, og forskere verden over forsker igen i disse stoffers terapeutiske potentiale.PSYKEDELISK MEDICIN giver en introduktion til denne forskning, samt til stofgruppens sikkerhed og mangeartede virkninger.Oliver Rumle Hovmand er læge og PhD studerende

She’s determined to death-grip her good-girl, model student rep all the way to med school, which means no social life or standing out in any way. Should be easy: If there’s one thing she’s learned from her family, it’s how to chup-re—to “shut up,” fade into the background. But when childhood memories of her aunt’s desertion and her then-uncle’s best friend resurface, Gita ends up ditching the books night after night in favor of partying and hooking up with strangers. Still, nothing can stop the little voice growing louder and louder inside her that says something is wrong. . . . And the only way she can burst forward is to stop shutting up about the past.“Funny, messy, gut-wrenching.”—Kirkus Reviews
