This is the Complete Ashton Manual & Works, combined into a single PDF format. This Manual was written by Chrystal Heather Ashton DM, FRCP, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Psycho-pharmacology at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, for those trying to rationally and scientifically withdraw from a (typically 'iatrogenic' = physician-created) Benzodiazepine dependency. It was designed as a readable, but scientifically grounded, guide for use by both patient's (and their families), as well as their prescribing physicians. Appended to it (forming the last two pages) is a collection of hyperlinks to further papers and references written by Professor Ashton (the hyperlinks should take the internet-connected reader directly to the corresponding papers, presently archived at Benzo.org.uk-the oldest and largest archived, online source of rational and practical information regarding the scourge of iatrogenic Benzodiazepine dependence, and how to safely withdraw). This Manual was intended to be freely available to all, and should be treated as a freely sharable open source document.
