University Press of America Emotional Addictions
Book SynopsisThe reference book Emotional Addictions proposes that some people may actually be addicted in an unhealthy manner to specific emotions. The emotion could be anger, anxiety, apathy, egotism, envy, guilt, jealousy, resentment, revenge, or self-hatred. Historically, one of the greatest challenges to both mental health and substance abuse counselors has been the addict who has been clean and sober for some time, yet still has substantial difficulties coping with life. Ladd contends that emotional addiction operates under similar criteria to a physical addiction, with both forms of addiction showing characteristics of denial, compulsive behavior, dependency, tolerance, addictive thinking, and withdrawal symptoms. By combining emotions with addictions, Ladd has written a cutting-edge approach to helping people with addictions and mental health problems.Trade ReviewWhile geared to the counseling professional…[Emotional Addictions] incorporates case study examples which are clearly understood by individuals with only a basic background in addictive behaviors. Emotional Addictions may well serve as a critical aid for the counseling professional ready to embrace a new concept in healing troubled clients. There is a need for such an innovation in addictions and mental [health] counseling and Dr. Ladd has met that challenge. -- Clare Kilpatrick Benz, expert in addictions and Coordinator of Experiential Learning, Penn State UniversityA comprehensive look at mental health and addictions from an innovative and intuitive approach. Dr. Ladd's pioneering book captures the complexity of addictions and human emotions in powerful yet easy to read chapters that shed light on psychological concepts only now beginning to be researched. This is a "must read" for seasoned clinicians, [and] new graduates as well as spouses, parents, and individuals who find difficulty managing the challenges of everyday living. -- Jennifer Gaudreau, practicing psychotherapist, Cornwall, Ontario, CanadaTable of ContentsChapter 1 Preface Chapter 2 Acknowledgements Chapter 3 Introduction Chapter 4 Chapter 1 - Anger Addiction Part 5 Background Part 6 Case Study Part 7 The Experience of Anger Part 8 How An Anger Addiction Works Part 9 Emotional Connections Part 10 Potential Counseling Solutions Part 11 Anger Addiction Short List Part 12 Format for Other Emotional Connections Chapter 13 Chapter 2 - Anxiety Addiction Part 14 Background Part 15 Case Study Part 16 The Experience of Anxiety Part 17 How an Anxiety Addiction Works Part 18 Emotional Connections Part 19 Potential Counseling Solutions Part 20 Anxiety Addiction Short List Part 21 Format for Other Emotional Connections Chapter 22 Chapter 3 - Apathy Addiction Part 23 Background Part 24 Case Study Part 25 The Experience of Apathy Part 26 How an Apathy Addiction Works Part 27 Emotional Connections Part 28 Potential Counseling Solutions Part 29 Apathy Addiction Short List Part 30 Format for Other Emotional Connections Chapter 31 Chapter 4 - Egotism Addiction Part 32 Background Part 33 Case Study Part 34 The Experience of Egotism Part 35 How an Egotism Addiction Works Part 36 Emotional Connections Part 37 Potential Counseling Solutions Part 38 Edotism Addiction Short List Part 39 Format for Other Emotional Connections Chapter 40 Chapter 5 - Envy Addictions Part 41 Case Study Part 42 The Experience of Envy Part 43 How an Envy Addiction Works Part 44 Emotional Connections Part 45 Potential Counseling Solutions Part 46 Envy Addiction Short List Part 47 Format for Other Emotional Connections Chapter 48 Chapter 6 - Guilt Addictions Part 49 Background Part 50 Case Study Part 51 The Experience of Guilt Part 52 How a Guilt Addiction Works Part 53 Emotional Connections Part 54 Potential Counseling Solutions Part 55 Guilt Addiction Short List Part 56 Format for Other Emotional Connections Chapter 57 Chapter 7 - Jealousy Addictions Part 58 Background Part 59 Case Study Part 60 The Experience of Jealousy Part 61 How a Jealousy Addiction Works Part 62 Emotional Connections Part 63 Potential Counseling Solutions Part 64 Jealousy Addiction Short List Part 65 Format for Other Emotional Connections Chapter 66 Chapter 8 - Resentment Addiction Part 67 Background Part 68 Case Study Part 69 The Experience of Resentment Part 70 How a Resentment Addiction Works Part 71 Emotional Connections Part 72 Potential Counseling Solutions Part 73 Resentment Addiction Short List Part 74 Format for Other Emotional Connections Chapter 75 Chapter 9 - Revenge Addiction Part 76 Background Part 77 Case Study Part 78 The Experience of Revenge Part 79 How a Revenge Addiction Works Part 80 Emotional Connections Part 81 Potential Counseling Solutions Part 82 Revenge Addiction Short List Part 83 Format for Other Emotional Connectoins Chapter 84 Chapter 10 - Self-Hatred Addiction Part 85 Background Part 86 Case Study Part 87 The Experience of Self-Hatred Part 88 How a Self-Hatred Addiction Works Part 89 Emotional Connections Part 90 Potential Counseling Solutions Part 91 Self-Hatred Addiction Short List Part 92 Format for Other Emotional Connections Chapter 93 Glossary Chapter 94 References Chapter 95 Index Chapter 96 About the Author

Jason Aronson, Inc. Gender and Addictions
Book SynopsisThe idea that men too are a 'gender,' and that their addiction patterns and treatment needs must be reexamined in the light of postfeminist and men's movement consciousness as well as the rapid recent growth of scientific knowledge, is only now beginning to be explored.Trade ReviewA welcome contribution to the insufficiently addressed issue of gender-based variations in the treatment of substance abuse and process addictions, Straussner and Zelvin's volume addresses an outstanding range of related topics including parenting, AIDS, the high-achieving patient, sexism in AA, gambling, eating disorders, and concurrent disorders (depression in women, attention-deficit in men). The book provides theoretical grounding as well as valuable applications germane to treatment that transcend the particulars of gender. It combines sensitive treatment of critical subjects with real clinical utility. -- Ronna H. Weiss, Ph.D.This is a timely, outstanding, beautifully organized collection of essays by highly knowledgeable and experienced clinicians on the interrelationship and impact of gender identity and sexuality on substance abuse. The essays on women poignantly emphasize the importance of the relational model in understanding the nature o female addictions and the process of treatment. The section on men provides groundbreaking insight into the connection between issues of dependency, control, and power and the dynamics of substance abuse. Theoretically sophisticated and yet practical in its clinical wisdom, Gender and Addictions is strongly recommended for practitioners at all levels of experience. -- Jeffrey Seinfeld, Ph.D.

Jason Aronson, Inc. Primer for Treating Substance Abusers
Book SynopsisDr. Levin outlines the treatment of chemical and other addictions such as compulsive gambling, compulsive sexuality, and codependency.Trade ReviewThis is an original and valuable book for mental health or substance abuse trainees interested in learning how to treat addiction. Dr. Levin employs the ingenious technique of supplying basic questions and then answering them in a thoughtful way. In adopting this approach, he has created a well-organized and approachable text that is a pleasure to read. -- Marc Galantar, New York University School of Medicine, M.D., professor of psychiatry, New York University School of MedicineDr. Jerome Levin's Primer for Treating Substance Abusers is as basic as it gets. At the same time, it is erudite and comprehensive in reviewing each class of abused drug and the etiologies and treatments of substance use disorders. His scholarly focus on theory is eloquently complemented by compelling case examples. Through his review of theory and his cases, Dr. Levin reveals the complex nature of addictive vulnerability, its tragic consequences when unchecked, and the considerable hope for transformation and recovery when it is properly understood and treated. Beyond the practical and erudite aspects of his primer, Dr. Levin's clarify of writing, the many questions raised (and answered), and keen sense of humor make this book very engaging and readable. -- Edward J. Khantzian, M.D., Harvard Medical School; Tewksbury HospitalThis very readable book provides mental health professionals with a wonderfully comprehensive orientation toward addiction treatment. The author offers his extensive experience, rich case material, and summarizes and critiques the claims of leading thinkers and practitioners. He highlights fine points of clinical practice and describes broad strategies and tactics of treatment. He also explains diagnosis, etiology, theory, and research about addiction in historical and cultural contexts, and demonstrates how these contexts, if ignored, can thwart treatment efforts. In these ways this book is a detailed road map for mental health professionals who must guide addicts through obstacles, dead ends, and traps that mark the path to recovery. -- Sanford Weinstein, Ed.D., C.S.W., New York University

Jason Aronson, Inc. Hidden Addictions
Book SynopsisMany people seek treatment for life problems without knowing that the real problem is an addiction. If the patient does not report an addiction as part of the presenting problem, it is likely to remain unrecognized. This book addresses how to recognize and assess for undisclosed addictions in the context of health and mental health care settings.Trade ReviewThis book is as academic as a serious textbook needs to be but it is also very readable, practical and persuasive. Psychotherapists reading this book are sure to realize that addressing addictions is certainly their role and that they have many of the skills that addiction specialists use to loosen or eradicate addictive behaviours. Marilyn Freimuth provides much of the additional information that is needed to uncover these behaviours, to screen for abuse and dependence and to expand the psychotherapeutic process to deal with them.The book should move a pre-contemplative psychotherapist through contemplation to action with just one bound; but why only psychotherapists? This book should have a wider readership. Uncovering and dealing with hidden addictions would improve the practice of most health professionals and social workers. * Addiction *This book provides a much-needed resource for psychotherapists and other clinicians who have not had extensive exposure to assessment and treatment of addictions. Marilyn Freimuth has done a wonderful job of compiling a large amount of relevant information into a comprehensive and manageable volume. Overall, this book is an excellent educational resource that is worthy of inclusion in any clinician's library. Kudos to Freimuth for a job well done. * PsycCRITIQUES *This book is the optimal reference for both practicing professionals and postgraduate students in the mental health field. Although it is not an easy task to provide coverage and depth at the same time, Freimuth has done a good job. She has provided a reader-friendly reference book for helping professionals to assess and benefit their clients. Postgraduate students, too, will find the book very useful, particularly the summaries at the conclusion of each chapter. For researchers and scholars, this book serves as an academic refresher—an impetus to reformulate our research agenda. This is because the author has re-conceptualized the construct of addiction in a new and very productive context. The publication of this book will call attention to the roots of the problem of addictions, not just the manifestations of it.. * British Journal of Social Work *Freimuth helps health-related professionals of various orientations understand how to asses for and recognize addictive behaviors and their consequences in patients who come in for different reasons. * Scitech Book News *This book provides a wealth of information to help therapists and other health professionals recognize and assess for possible 'hidden addictions' among their patients and clients. Even when patients seek treatment for other problems, many have co-occurring problems with alcohol, other substances, or 'process addictions' such as excessive shopping, gambling, or cybersex. Therapists will benefit from the author's description of multiple assessment strategies designed to uncover addictive behavior patterns that will facilitate treatment planning. I highly recommend this valuable resource for all therapists and clinical students in training. -- G. Alan Marlatt, PhD, Addictive Behaviors Research Center, University of WashingtonMarilyn Freimuth has written a book that is edifying, illuminating, and immensely practical. It is also a must for every psychotherapist's desk. Dr. Freimuth provides a valuable source of information for helping clinicians sort through the confusion that the typical substance abuser, addict, and alcoholic brings to the therapeutic encounter. Not only does this text help dispel the misinformation about addiction that often contributes to both the misdiagnosis and poor clinical management of the addicted individual, this book also provides many pragmatic hands-on methods for helping the addicted patient recognize and accept their diagnosis. -- Philip Flores, PhDThis book is the optimal reference for both practicing professionals and postgraduate students in the mental health field.

Jason Aronson Inc. Publishers SubstanceAbusing High Achievers
Book SynopsisDenial of addiction is the most prominent symptom of individuals who have problems with alcohol and substance abuse.Trade ReviewDr. Twerski's writings have made a priceless contribution to the understanding of America's number one health problem: alcoholism and other life-threatening addictions. This latest book, whose revealing personal stories are accompanied by clear commentary from one of our wisest and most experienced addiction specialists, is a gem. I wish everyone–every parent, teacher, counselor, and employer–would read it. -- George McGovernDenial is a regular feature of addictive diseases, and 'super-people' are prone to 'super-denial.' Dr. Twerski discusses the dynamics of alcoholism and drug dependence in doctors, lawyers, CEOs, clergy, athletes, and others whose achievements in life make it most difficult for them to accept that they have lost control of alcohol or drugs. This book is a valuable resource for them and those who care for them. -- Father Joseph C. Martin, S.S.The single greatest barrier to recovery from alcohol or drugs is the person's inability to recognize the problem. The denial is particularly intense in people who have achieved considerable influence in life and cannot admit loss of control. This book should be helpful to such people and their families and to their therapists. -- Betty Ford

Jason Aronson, Inc. Coyote Speaks
Book SynopsisDescribes the strengths, the strategies, and the resilience that a therapist needs to work with alcoholics and addicts.Trade ReviewRutzky weaves the wisdom of Native American Coyote stories, a wealth of scientific evidence, and his own sensitive intuition as an expert therapist into a new and convincing paradigm for understanding alcoholics and addicts. This wonderful and moving book will surprise many professionals who treat them. -- Franz Mechsner, Ph.D., Max Planck Institute for Psychological ResearchJacques Rutzky makes a real contribution to the field by illustrating the central importance of the trickster archetype in the psyche of the alcoholic and addict. This is an extremely valuable resource for all mental health professionals who treat them—an unusual and moving work. -- Robert Matano, Ph.D., director, Stanford University Alcohol and Drug Treatment CenterThis book presents the problem of alcoholism and addictions from the point of view of the trickster as symbolized in the Native American myths of Coyote. The author demonstrates how various coyote stories dovetail with personal clinical histories, and also provides an overview of how psychotherapy works and does not work with alcoholics in a very human and understandable way. -- Thomas Kirsch, M.D., Immediate Past President, International Association of Analytical Psychology, Zurich

Jason Aronson, Inc. Treating Addiction as a Human Process
Book SynopsisProvides a depth of understanding of substance use disorders and an increased hope for recovery. This book examines patients' internal worlds, revealing vulnerabilities while uncovering resiliency and strength.Trade ReviewOver the course of three decades, Dr. Khantzian has generated a deep understanding of why addicts self-medicate, why their self-care becomes compromised, and how they can be supported in their attempts to achieve recovery. The substance abuse field is now most fortunate to be given this compendium of Khantzian's work in such a well-organized and coherent form. This volume will be a most valuable resource for experienced practitioners and students alike. -- Marc GalanterThis is a landmark collection that more than fulfills the promise of its title. The reader gets an evolutionary review of Khantzian's thinking, and the huge bonus of his reflections about his own developmental process. This book is a treasure: clinically rich, theoretically creative, and comprehensive. It is particularly valuable as a model of therapist openness and self-disclosure. We see the author's adherence to psychoanalytic thought and his questions about the limits of this model. With his enlightened theories and his attitude of openness, Khantzian provides an expansive and integrated perspective of addictions treatment with great contemporary relevance. -- Stephanie Brown, Ph.D., director, The Addictions Institute, Menlo Park, CA; co-director, The Family Recovery Project, Mental Research Institute (MRI), PAs a novelist who is also working in the field of addiction medicine, I am in the unique position to comment on the clarity of Dr. Khantzian's writing, as well as its usefulness to practitioners. This book brings together the theoretical and the practical in one highly intelligent volume that can be read with pleasure and awe from beginning to end. It is the cornerstone on which the next generation of knowledge in addiction medicine will be built. -- Michael S. Palmer, M.D., associate director, Massachusetts Medical Society Physician Health Services; clinical instructor in medicine, Tufts University SAddiction is the most devastating mental disorder of the twentieth century and the one most neglected by psychodynamically oriented mental health professionals. Against this background, Edward Khantzian's book the work of a lifetime is an extraordinary achievement. Here is a master psychodynamic clinician exploring the internal world of the addicted person and demonstrating convincingly his self-medication hypothesis. There is no magic cure for addiction, but Khantzian's marvelously written book will give even the most experienced clinician useful new ideas about how to understand and help patients. -- Alan A.

Jason Aronson, Inc. Creating the Capacity for Attachment
Book SynopsisUsing patient diaries and letters, this book shows how immersive moments in therapy - moments of complete understanding between patient and therapist - are powerful enough to dislodge the alienated, detached self from its hiding place and enable the individual to begin incorporating his or her inner core into his or her external, social self.Trade ReviewWalant has added a missing piece to the therapeutic puzzle. She stresses the central need for intellectual and emotional immersion in the therapeutic process both for the patient and the therapist. Walant demonstrates her techniques using moving case histories of patients suffering from psychiatric illnesses, as well as those affected by addictions. Her use of well-chosen quotes fro the world of literature, poetry, and religion makes reading the book a sheer pleasure as well as an intellectual adventure. -- Samuel C. Klagsbrun, M.D., executive medical director, Four Winds Hopsitals, New YorkIn this scholarly, sensitive book, Karen Walant systematically examines psychodynamic paradigms for understanding development and applies her analysis to the needs and problems of substance-dependent individuals. She provocatively underscores the failure of classical psychoanalysis to attune to what shapes infantile behavior and its profound effects on adult adaptations. In its place she offers rich material from childhood observations and adult clinical encounters to present a refreshing psychoanalytic model that better explains the distress and characteristic defenses that lead to maladaptive solutions. The insight that she provides guides the reader in more successfully understanding, accessing, and modifying addictive vulnerability. -- Edward J. Khantzian, M.D., Harvard Medical SchoolThis book provides clear, practical guidelines for the therapist to help patients restore the lost capacity for attachment. It is especially noteworthy that Dr. Walant describes how the therapist may effectively utilize the patient's participation in twelve-step programs as a part of a psychodynamic treatment approach. This is an important book that I highly recommend for clinicians at all levels of experience. -- Jeffrey Seinfeld, Ph.D., New York University School of Social Work

Jason Aronson Inc. Publishers Therapeutic Strategies for Treating Addiction
Book SynopsisUnderstanding addiction, demonstrating its dynamics, and developing and conveying treatment approaches, require multiple perspectives. The chapters in this book communicate the theme of the journey in different forms.Trade ReviewThis brilliant book is many things: a training manual for substance abuse counselors; an integrative presentation of therapeutic methods, illustrated by fictional and case history narratives; a cultural and philosophical analysis of the multiple causes of addiction. By empathically analyzing the humanness of addiction, Jerome Levin's Therapeutic Strategies for Treating Addiction illuminates the human condition. -- Jane Lilienfeld, Ph.D., author of Reading AlcoholismsJerome Levin's book Therapeutic Strategies for Treating Addiction is a joyful romp of an encyclopedia. Dr. Levin combines an erudite history of the theory and therapy of addictions with philosophy, fiction, and his own playful, teasing, and learned view of treating addictions in all their variations. His integration of methodologies from behavioral to psychodynamic, from the use of the telephone, to family therapy offers a rare combination of wisdom and experience, serious study, and playful exploration. Anyone who attempts the almost impossible job of treating addictions should have this engaging, provocative, stimulating, and entertaining book by their side. -- David E. Scharff, M.D., International Psychotherapy Institute and the IPA Committee on Family and Couple PsychoanalysisDr. Levin has combined scholarship, wit, and clinical wisdom to address the major issues in addiction treatment. His text offers a lucid portrayal of the relevant subtleties of psychology and social history, and thereby gives the reader a grounding in this very important area of clinical work. This book can be useful to anyone working with people who abuse substances. -- Marc Galantar, New York University School of Medicine, M.D., professor of psychiatry, New York University School of MedicineIn this extraordinary book, Dr. Levin uses rich case vignettes, practical guides, and useful theoretical models to guide the reader in understanding our patients' addictive involvements. He astutely explores the complexities of patients' enslavements to drugs, and shows how our treatment paradigms, more than anything, must be about enabling freedom from the compulsion to use and remain dependent on substances of abuse. Jerome Levin's erudition shines through with rich metaphors and wise guidance. He figures out what fits theoretically and clinically so we may align ourselves with our patients and choose strategies for their therapeutic benefit. -- Edward J. Khantzian, M.D., Harvard Medical School at Tewksbury

The text makes frequent and effective use of citations, and the extensive bibliography of current and historically significant work in the field will stimulate student research. This introductory text is so comprehensive that it will become a valued resource to be used again and again by students as they move through the various courses comprising their curriculum. -- Dan GilhooleyThis book is an extremely comprehensive textbook on abstinence-oriented chemical dependency treatment that will serve as a wonderful introduction to the field for students and as a reference for the more experienced mental health clinician. The authors present material on all the important topics in the field of chemical dependency counseling, and discuss cutting edge work on the motivational stages of change, motivational enhancement therapy for clients not prepared to attempt abstinence, and the importance of matching the intervention to the client's motivational state. Not only is this book impressive in its ability to convey the information that clinicians need for working in this challenging area, it is equally able to transmit the authors' excitement and love for the work and their appreciation of its complexity and intellectual and emotional challenges. -- Andrew Tartarsky PhD, clinical psychologist in private practice

Jason Aronson, Inc. Harm Reduction Psychotherapy
Book SynopsisHarm reduction is a framework for helping drug and alcohol users who cannot or will not stop completely. Harm reduction accepts that abstinence may be the best outcome for many but relaxes the emphasis on abstinence as the only acceptable goal. This book shows how these changes have implications for improving the effectiveness of psychotherapy.Trade ReviewPersonal dignity and responsibility as well as compassion and the recognition that one's steps take place one day at a time are fundamental to both harm reduction and 12-step approaches to drug addiction. Tatarsky's excellent new paradigm rescues these principles with courage, compassion, and intellectual rigor. Harm reduction psychotherapy has come of age. -- Ethan Nadelman, executive director, Lindesmith Center Drug Policy FoundationAlthough this book is a good read for substance misuse specialists too, its readership should be predominantly out with the specialist field. It should be on the bookshelves of the legions of individual psychotherapists who claim no expertise with substance misusers, but who are probably working with some anyway. * Addiction Research and Theory *Andrew Tatarsky's book, using cases submitted by practitioners from different psychological schools of thought, clearly elucidates the way harm reduction philosophy can be integrated into clinical work. The cases are varied, the practitioners have unique styles and varying approaches, and the realistic conclusions offer the reader a way to integrate slow, incremental change at the client's pace into whatever treatment model they currently use. No longer do therapists have to send people away to become abstinent before they can work with them; no longer do therapists have to feel responsible to set goals for their clients' drug use. This is a must-read for today's psychotherapists who want to practice state-of-the-art healing. -- Edith Springer, Edith Springer Associates

Jason Aronson, Inc. Treating Addiction as a Human Process
Book SynopsisExamines author's patients' internal worlds, revealing vulnerabilities while uncovering resiliency and strength. This book provides a depth of understanding of substance use disorders and an increased hope for recovery.Trade ReviewOver the course of three decades, Dr. Khantzian has generated a deep understanding of why addicts self-medicate, why their self-care becomes compromised, and how they can be supported in their attempts to achieve recovery. The substance abuse field is now most fortunate to be given this compendium of Khantzian's work in such a well-organized and coherent form. This volume will be a most valuable resource for experienced practitioners and students alike. -- Marc GalanterThis is a landmark collection that more than fulfills the promise of its title. The reader gets an evolutionary review of Khantzian's thinking, and the huge bonus of his reflections about his own developmental process. This book is a treasure: clinically rich, theoretically creative, and comprehensive. It is particularly valuable as a model of therapist openness and self-disclosure. We see the author's adherence to psychoanalytic thought and his questions about the limits of this model. With his enlightened theories and his attitude of openness, Khantzian provides an expansive and integrated perspective of addictions treatment with great contemporary relevance. -- Stephanie Brown, Ph.D., director, The Addictions Institute, Menlo Park, CA; co-director, The Family Recovery Project, Mental Research Institute (MRI), PAs a novelist who is also working in the field of addiction medicine, I am in the unique position to comment on the clarity of Dr. Khantzian's writing, as well as its usefulness to practitioners. This book brings together the theoretical and the practical in one highly intelligent volume that can be read with pleasure and awe from beginning to end. It is the cornerstone on which the next generation of knowledge in addiction medicine will be built. -- Michael S. Palmer, M.D., associate director, Massachusetts Medical Society Physician Health Services; clinical instructor in medicine, Tufts University SAddiction is the most devastating mental disorder of the twentieth century and the one most neglected by psychodynamically oriented mental health professionals. Against this background, Edward Khantzian's book the work of a lifetime is an extraordinary achievement. Here is a master psychodynamic clinician exploring the internal world of the addicted person and demonstrating convincingly his self-medication hypothesis. There is no magic cure for addiction, but Khantzian's marvelously written book will give even the most experienced clinician useful new ideas about how to understand and help patients. -- Alan A. Stone M.D., Touroff-Glueck Professor of Law & Psychiatry, Harvard Law School; author of Movies and the Moral Adventure of Life

Beacon Press The Sober Truth
Book SynopsisA powerful exposé of Alcoholics Anonymous, 12-step programs, and the rehab industry—and how a failed addiction treatment model came to dominate America.“A humane, science-based, global view of addiction . . . an essential, bracing critique of the rehab industry and its ideological foundations that we have much to learn from.” —Gabor Maté M.D., author of In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts Alcoholics Anonymous has become so infused in our society that it is practically synonymous with addiction recovery. Yet the evidence shows that AA has only a 5–10 percent success rate—hardly better than no treatment at all. Despite this, doctors, employers, and judges regularly refer addicted people to treatment programs and rehab facilities based on the 12-step model. In The Sober Truth, acclaimed addiction specialist Dr. Lance Dodes exposes the deeply flawed science that the 12-step industry has used to support its programs. Dr. Dodes analyzes dozens of studies to reveal a startling pattern of errors, misjudgments, and biases. He also pores over the research to highlight the best peer-reviewed studies available and discovers that they reach a grim consensus on the program’s overall success. But The Sober Truth is more than a book about addiction. It is also a book about science and how and why AA and rehab became so popular, despite the discouraging data. Drawing from thirty-five years of clinical practice and firsthand accounts submitted by addicts, Dr. Dodes explores the entire story of AA’s rise—from its origins in early fundamentalist religious and mystical beliefs to its present-day place of privilege in politics and media. A powerful response to the monopoly of the 12-step program and the myth that they are a universal solution to addiction, The Sober Truth offers new and actionable information for addicts, their families, and medical providers, and lays out better ways to understand addiction for those seeking a more effective and compassionate approach to this treatable problem.

Kay Trimberger finds, lie in both nature and nurture.Trade ReviewThis will be an immensely helpful and deeply personal book for so many, and one I've been looking for these past twenty-eight years.

Psychotherapists will find this to be a foundational resource in their work with both adoptive parents and adoptees, and an absorbing and accessible guide for their patients.
