What a gentle way to recover!
I love this book! Can't say enough good things about it. I would highly recommend it to anyone recovering from dual disorders or any professional working with clients with dual disorders. The book offers real hope for recovery from both illness, is writen in a very gentle tone and is wonderfully supportive. I especially like the way the authors deal with the definition of 'sanity' and the Higher Power aspect of the 12 Step Process. Sanity is defined as 'sound judgement'-how simple is that! What a relief from guilt for the person with mental illness. They discribe HP as a circle of helping resources-psychiatrist, case worker, family, friends, sponsor, others in recovery in addition to a spiritual relationship.I use it in a recovery group in an institutional setting and my clients love the material. Its an open-minded view of recovery without all the 'God Stuff' found in the original 12 Steps.
