Press coverage of addiction tends to be prolific if not always accurate or considered. This article examines the ways in which methadone treatment is reported in three respected daily newspapers, the New York Times, the Times (London) and the Sydney Morning Herald. To conduct this analysis I focus on the role of metaphor, asking what impact the use of metaphor-both to figure methadone and to mobilize it as a figure for other phenomena-has in this context. In the process I consider the status of metaphor itself within Western liberal discourse, and trace the ways in which methadone treatment can be seen not only as a resource for, and object of, metaphorical description and production, but itself as a kind of metaphor-a metaphor for heroin. In concluding, I argue that methadone is aligne...

Approximately 18 veterans kill themselves every day, according to an e-mail from a Veterans Affairs official that was revealed in April after two veterans' groups, Veterans for Common Sense and Veterans United for Truth, filed a lawsuit in federal court in San Francisco. With the support of funding from the National Institutes of Health, researchers are searching for ways to quiet the demons that soldiers face after wartime through a controversial program known as "therapeutic forgetting" or, more commonly, as "memory dampening." While still in an experimental stage, memory dampening-at least in the view of some veterans' advocatesis a metaphor for the way administration, Defense Department, and Veterans Affairs officials, not to mention many Americans, are approaching the problem of ...

Some states have also introduced "mental health courts," designed to help people with schizophrenia and other types of serious mental illness who cycle through the criminal justice system to stay out of jail and get treatment. A SAFE, COMFORTABLE PLACE TO LIVE Many communities were a bit slow to realize that when deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill began in the 1950s, it would be necessary for them to find some other place for mentally ill people to live, says Kenneth Dudek, the president of New York City's Fountain House, which provides multiple services for people with serious mental illness, including housing.

As an African American, [Bebe Moore Campbell] says she had a hard time dealing with the issue. However, as she explained, it's a difficult situation no matter the race. "I don't care what color you are, nobody wants to say 'I don't have control over my mind.' Nobody wants to say 'my loved one doesn't have control over his or her mind.' If they're in denial about having an illness, they're not going to take the prescribed medication, so then they're going to start drinking or start drugging. And ultimately for a lot of people, particularly Black men, that's going to lead to incarceration. The behavior will become really unmanageable. The drugs and alcohol will just fuel episodes of mania and psychosis. A lot of times people shut down, they're stigmatized, so they don't want to [talk]. ...
