In an attempt to help mental health professionals and concerned individuals understand and identify the phenomenon and ultimately intervene with patients, friends, and loved ones, Farber discusses the different paths taken on the road to ecstatic states. Hungry for Ecstasy explores not only the neuroscientific processes involved but also the influence of the sixties in driving people to seek these states. Finally, Farber draws from her own personal and professional experience to advise others how to intervene on behalf of the person whose behavior puts his or her life at risk"--Provided by publisher. 000803568 650_0 $$aDissociative disorders. 000803568 650_0 $$aElation. 000803568 650_0 $$aMind and body. 000803568 650_0 $$aSelf-destructive behavior. 000803568 852__ $$bebk 000803568 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1126468$$zOnline Access 000803568 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:803568$$pGLOBAL_SET 000803568 980__ $$aEBOOK 000803568 980__ $$aBIB 000803568 982__ $$aEbook 000803568 983__ $$aOnline
