Addiction and Art
edited by Patricia B. Santora, Margaret L. Dowell, and Jack E. Henningfield
Addiction to alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs is one of the major public health issues of our time. It accounts for one of every five deaths in the United States and costs approximately one-half trillion dollars per year in health care expenditures and lost productivity. Its human costs are untold and perhaps uncountable. Addiction and Art puts a human face on addiction through the creative work of individuals who have been touched by it. A panel of addiction scientists, artists, and professionals from the art world selected the 61 pieces included here from more than 1,000 submissions. Accompanied by a written statement from the artist, each creation is emblematic of the destructive power of addiction and the regenerative power of recovery. Stunning and occasionally unsettling, this unique portfolio reveals addiction art as a powerful complement to addiction science.

My Name was Bette: Life and Death of an Alcoholic

The movie is finally scored and should be available in the next month or so. I will post additional info as I get it.

Parker Lanier's artwork is featured in the full-length documentary film produced by Sherri VandenAkker and Josh Hays, titled My Name Was Bette: Life and Death of an Alcoholic, planned for release in Spring, 2009. The film examines the development and progression of alcoholism in women, and uses VandenAkker's mother, Bette, who died from alcoholism in September, 2007 as a case study. Lanier's artwork is used throughout the film to convey the psychological state of the alcoholic--from active addiction to sobriety. The work earned high praise from audience members who viewed the rough cut on November 23, 2008 at Springfield College, School of Human Services, Boston campus.
