Drawing on forty collective years of research and decades of clinical experience, the authors present the best practical advice science has to offer.
Delivered with warmth, optimism, and humor, Beyond Addiction defines a new, empowered role for friends and family and a paradigm shift for the field. Learn how to tap the transformative power of relationships for positive change, guided by exercises and examples. Practice what really works in therapy and in everyday life, and discover many different treatment options along with tips for navigating the system. And have hope: this guide is designed not only to help someone change but to help someone want to change.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5OK book for what it is... I suspect I would give most books in this category a much worse rating (or simply wouldn't read them). Pretty even handed and realistic, doesn't go in for culty kind of stuff.
