Manuel_Pinto_CoelhoA new book "Touching the spot" by Doctor Manuel Pinto Coelho, based on his work done in the scope of a doctorate thesis in Educational Sciences and supervised by Professor Amaral Dias is due to be published in English soon.

 This book deals with a controversial notion of addiction as a disease, a model that may be misplaced, according to Doctor Manuel Pinto Coelho (picture), ECAD representative in Portugal, medical director of the Permanent Medical Service in Portugal since 2003.

"This book is a proof that drug dependent is not a condemned victim", says Doctor Coelho, who has a degree in Medicine and Surgery. "He or she can free himself by discovering himself and his willpower".

"Touching the spot" is about figuring out a new paradigm to drug dependence, to help everyone who has problems with drugs all over the world, and their families, to live happier lives.

ECAD looks forward to a hard copy of the book to be published in English and Russian in the near future. Contact us if you wish to know more!
